Jerry, things are real quiet on your part, how is your project coming?? We do miss your activity like when you where on the Tailwind Activities. My project is receiving the finishing touches and will be ready to go when the snow clears in the spring. It is looking like I don't have enough prop (68 x 72) on the Rotary, will need to get it out of the garage after the new year and run it some more with the tach that Bob White put together for me.

The rotary has ports open to the outside all of the time. Humid air can enter the engine as it goes through heating and cooling each day. In a barn, in a hanger, even a heated shop. I use motor oil in the intake and turn over the engine a complete cycle, (three crank revolutions) and tape the exhaust pipe shut. Turn over three revs monthly when out of service.
More of them have died sitting still than running.
