Kelly,
 
You just need to fly at Mach 1 so you stay ahead of the sound.  ;-)
 
Can anyone report on the effectiveness of the tangential muffler in actual real world situations?  (As I recall Al G. is running a tangential muffler on his Velocity.)  I ask because I'm in the process of building one for my Lancair with the hopes that it will work better than the DNA muffler that I'm currently running.  I think it will work better at reducing the noise level in the cabin, but at what cost to power?  Hopefully, this will save me the cost of a new Zulu ANR headset.  Comments appreciated.

Hey gang!

 

I came across a rare find this weekend.

Any serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate this.

 

Bluelines from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary engine.

 

I just put them up on eBay
