Great news, David.
Always a thrill just to hear someone else
has passed all the hurdles and fired off another airborne destined rotary
engine. Someday we will have to count up how many Rv-6s we have flying with
rotary engines. I would hazard a guess more than any other airframe.
Keep us apprised of progress.
