Hi All,

   Sorry about the pedantic streak here - and I realize 
that, given that I'm not even close to flying yet, I don't 
have much of a standing to comment - but the more I learn 
about my rotary, the more I'm inclined to think of it as 
not an auto engine converted to aviation use, but rather 
as an airplane engine that had to be loaded down with a 
lot of junk to make it suitable for auto use.  I know, 
that's a bit of an oversimplification, because one would 
think that a "real" airplane engine would not need a 
re-drive (right, Perry?)  Nevertheless, had I an aircraft 
to take to OSH, I'd prefer to park in an area marked 
"non-Traditional aircraft engines" (Sounds kind of "P.C." 
doesn't it?) rather than "Auto Engines".

;)
