Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 00:25:45 -0400 To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.2) Thanks for the report Ed. Wish I can make long trips like that one day? It was nice to see you again at S&F and all the rest of the rotary guys. I was surprised to see all the rotary planes and the constant activity around the rotary corner inside the engine tent. This year I can say the rotary is making visible progress compared to other engines. I'm rewiring the injectors with shielded wire and hoping this will eliminate my high rpm headset noise problem? Today inside my hangar was 96F. Summer has arrived in S. FL.
