Subject: [FlyRotary] Help with configuration list !!!

My aircraft is about to undergo its final inspection for its AW certification this Friday morning.

My DAR is being "assisted" by two FAA officials to "help" him perform the inspection.

I suspect this is because of the DAR's unfamiliarity with the Rotary engine.

What I urgently need is an exhaustive list of currently flying aircraft with Rotary engines to overwhelm them with evidence of the fact that

these are not a fluke but a real alternative to conventional aircraft engines.

Dale Rogers has started a list of aircraft that are flying but it is by no means complete.

Here is the website with the listing.

Noticeably among the missing are Tracy Crook and David Atkins who may have the most accumulated hours of all the flying Rotarys.

If everyone who has a flying rotary could send their info to Dale so that he could update his list it would be of great help, not only to me but to all future Rotary flyers.

Thanks for your consideration
