Ed,
It is good to hear from you again.  I was beginning to worry.  :>)

Ed,

We share that Cyclops trait although mine was thru amblyopia and not botched
surgery.  I also seem to be developing a cataract but it is not yet a
problem.  The FAA is on the brink of removing the Class 3 requirement which
should set you free to fly again as long as you are still able to drive.  I
am looking forward to it myself!

I stand in awe of your ability to build and fly your plane before all this
assistance was available.  I would never have been able to accomplish this
task if it had not been for you and the other pioneers on this list.  For
this I thank you!

Now that you know you can post...please do!

Thanks!

Bill

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
