Welcome to the club!
I am frequently on the PPRuNe forum and I
ran a cross a Wankel thread, with lots of misinformation about the
Rotary.
At least I tried to steer them in the right
direction....

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
