Well, I think that if you look at what has/is happening to other auto engine
conversion that the rotary continues to stand up very well.  I have never
had one quit on me that was a problem with the engine...err... I guess we
know what that leaves as the cause  - don't we?

Besides that, someone just listed the string of mishaps he had with
"certified" engines which makes the rotary seem like a dream {:>).

As I recall you have a minute or two of glider time yourself, don't you.

400 hours is impressive - how long has it been 2 years?
