Group,
Just for everyones information the first Rotary
powered a/c I saw in person and also
the first Rotary powered flight I had was in Ron Gowan's Long
EZ during a canard
flyin in the mid 90's here in Oklahoma.........Ron's 13B was carburated
with a HA-6
sidedraft carb used on 0-320 and 0-360 lycomings on Beech Musketeers
at that time !!

Boy, is my face red, Perry. My only excuse is
your long EZ just didn't look like a "normal" long EZ. For most of
those 8 years, it had this "thing" affixed to the rear {:>).
My apologies for an embarrassing "senior moment" - you
must stop lurking so much in order that my memory cells are get
recharged more frequently.
By the way, saw Butch at Sun & Fun for a few
minutes -he looked a bit stressed and overworked, ridden hard and
put away wet. But, he has supposedly retired from that stressful
"business" and hopefully will get his battery recharged.

"I do not recall anyone with a rotary in a
Long EZ since Al Gowan, so will be very interested in hearing about your
success when you get it airborne."
Damn it Ed, how did you discover my hoax?
Now you've exposed it to the whole world. So I have to come clean: I
have not flown a rotary powered Long-EZ for the last 8 years.
My Long-EZ has a cold-fusion power cell fuel
source, providing heat energy to a sterling engine to drive the
propeller.
