Had to leave Thursday AM, so missed Tracy completely, but there was a steady stream of people who were interested in the rotary engine.

Smooth flight up and back from Granbury, with one stop near Kansas City at Clay County airport. Self-service MOGAS for $2.90. I like to rub that in with my Lycosaurus friends! The engine runs so good now that I suspect the apex seal has been broken at least a year! This is an amazing engine design. -- Bill Eslick www.weslick.com/RV6Index.htm ------=_Part_16715_32263728.1154235266654 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline
