Hi Charlie;
No You didn't miss anything unless maybe I did too. But thanks for
posting this, it is promising for the rotary movement. I'm not sure who this
Mick guy is, but it looks like he has already decided to go with the
Eggenfeller Subaru, which is not a bad choice, but I wonder how many guy's
like him would go with Mistral if they were immediately available to the
Experimental market? The site says that to provide full traceability, they
have to manufacture 100% of the engine themselves. I can understand why the
FAA would want this, but in my mind it detracts resources from improving and
expanding on a great engine, by forcing them to duplicate at great expense a
part that Mazda can produce for them in high quality, quantity and economy.
This has to be passed on to the consumer which will weaken the rotary's
appeal.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to keep it our little secret :-)

If this got posted here, I somehow missed it; my apologies for the
repeat. I just discovered the link on an RV forum.
