Yep, it was great to see you to Ed, that was a long drive from MI, Meagan & Cody bought a new house just S. of Charlotte NC in SC. I'm sure we will be back to see them again. The RV6A rotary is back in the air again after some more wiring changes & I am studying formation flying, we have 6 RV's at our little Mason JewettAirport already & more coming. Next project will be smoke sys., would like to make it portable. David R. Cook RV6A rotary
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
