I guess some people must actually be flying …
Personally, I’m almost ready to fly again after another round of
modifications to oil cooling system. My slow, 105 mph airplane is having
difficulty keeping the oil temperature below redline (210F) above 4000 rpm.
Have added a second oil cooler - now have one each side of engine, similar-looking
to dual evaporator cores (for water) in RVs. Since I can’t cruise at 160 mph have
decided that 2x surface area is needed to make up for 1.6x airspeed.

Hey gang!
I came across a rare find this weekend.
Any serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate this.
Bluelines from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary engine.
I just put them up on eBay
