Bill,
  I bought the plans for the Delta in 1968 !!...............Been = tinkering with building it for
over 40 years off and on but had never really documented any expenses = or time spent
for construction.............Started building a "Cassutt" after viewin= g the Delta plans as it
is a welders nightmare and my welding experience at that time consiste= d of a few hours
with a "Buzz Box" arc welder..............Gained enough gas welding ex= perience on that
project to attempt the Delta............At that time all I had to do w= as give the FAA a
notarized statement that I had personally constructed over 50 % of the= aircraft.........
 I now have to document and construct a log with photos of all th= at has been done
by me as I understand that the DAR's do not like to just take your wor= ld that you
have built the majority of an aircraft.............On top of all that = I became interested in
the Rotary Engine in the middle 1980's which added to the complexity o= f the project
since as we all know the Rotary just started to become a viable altern= ative engine after
Tracy built his RV4 and started flying it in the middle 1990's........= ..My first purchases
for a flying Rotary were a "Ross" 2.85 psru and Tracy's "Dual Ignition= System" which
was his first product after being hounded by many of us............Thi= s is what let to his
now very successfull mini industry that he had no intention of startin= g ..........I have now
purchased at least one of most of Tracy's products except his 2.17 psr= u..........But I
and several other on the list were responsible for him producing the 2= .85 psru after
hounding him for several years............Who knows I may even live lo= ng enough to
get the Delta in the air.........But if I don"t my kids are going to h= ave a lot of expensive
