Hi Bill,
Been sitting in email limbo regarding the rotary list - surprised to find my email access back in operation today. Saw your query about my status back some months ago and attempted to answer - but, no Joy.
Have not been active flying. Got a cataract developing in my remaining eye and figured I could not pass a class III, so decided not to try. Not eager to go under the knife to fix it as I lost sight in my right eye due to a boutched operation.
I've basically been busy building a product (The EICommander http://www.eicommander.com/) to monitor and control one of the popular new electronic ignitions for the lycomings - they are called Pmags. Been doing it for about 4 years now. Business really picked up once Aircraft Spruce contacted us and wanted to put the product in their catalog. Sold 20 units so for this year and expect another order before the year ends.
Just finishing up the (painful {:>)) transition from the older 8 bit microprocessor chip I had been using for years to a 32 bit chip for increased performance and a larger (2.4") display. Boy, talk about a steep learning curve for an old brain!
I sort of got a bit discouraged on the rotary front, when Mazda decided not to produce the 16X - had my pennies already saved up to buy one and replace my old 13B. The 13B and my RV-6A are sitting in my hangar and I am going to need to decide whether to part with it or get my eye fixed and back to flying it.
But, I do follow all of your folks still active on the rotary front - So while no longer as active as I once was, I am still just as interested in what you guys are doing.
David Cook stopped by a few months back and that was a delight to have him to chat with for a spell.
Welcome mat is always out for anyone coming through Charlotte, NC and have the time and inclination to stop for a spell and shoot the bull.
Thanks for inquiring, Bill
Best Regards
Ed
