I'm a bit surprised hearing it came from Al
Wick as he was on this list for a while. I thought he had a better
understanding of what was going on with the rotary. But, you're right a
little knowledge means incomplete knowledge which can be dangerous.

Indeed.
Rich was quoting Al Wick, from 5/20 posting on the COZY_builders
mail list, "COZY: Fuel issues with auto conversions".
A *little* knowledge is a dangerous thing.

[FlyRotary] Questions from a potential rotaryphile
In a different
forum, not related specifically to engines, the following was
stated,
"...Rotary is
different issue. Their unusual combustion chamber requires them
to mix
2 cycle oil with each tank. If they don't their compression seals
die
prematurely. Just like your boat motor mix, I don't see it as a
big
deal. In addition, if they use aviation fuel, they develop power
drop on
departure and have to replace all their plugs before next
flight. This
happens every 20 hours. They don't have solution for
this."
What is the experience that you are having? Is there any
truth to this. If not true, where might this info have come from??
thanks,
Rich
