Kelly,

Best I can tell, the engine still hasn't shown up.  I believe it is a 2-rotor.  I will keep you posted if I hear more.  I suspect this could drag on for awhile.....................

  Bill,
    Sounds like it would be a fascinating time to watch the "Mistral" rotary put to
the grinder to see what it can take..........Was it mentioned if both the 2 and 3 rotor
"Mistral" would be tested ?........The last I heard the 3 rotor was to be certified
first then the 2 rotor version.........Let all know if and when a "Rotorhead" group
visit can be arranged........Lets get some interest up.........I would be driving to
Ada (sadly) but I am just up the road in Okla City.........

Please excuse me if this is old news, but our EAA983 Chapter visited GAMI and Tornado Alley Turbo on Sat in Ada, OK, and they related that the Mistral rotary is going to spend several months in their test cell validating lots of different aspects of the design.  It is due to arrive in mid June.

I, for one, plan to visit again in August to maybe watch this baby run flat out under load.  If you have not seen their hi tech test cell(s), you are in for a treat.  (See attached photo)  I vote we descend on them with a batch of rotary-powered aircraft!

President Tim Roehl said that if we give him a call and set up a visit, we would be more than welcome.

They have a VERY impressive facility which does lots of different types of engineering, but the most famous ar e the GAMI injectors for the piston folks, and at this point, over 525 twin turbo packages for the Cirrus factory for their G3.
