Here Here Doug!!! A big thanks to Ed and his family. A great day of rotary fun, friends, and learning. I hope this event is able to continue in years to come, as I think its location is perfect, centered enough to draw from every direction. Plus the air park is a quiet enough spot to allow us rotary guys to do our thing in peace. Thanks again Ed and family. And it was great to reunite with a few I haven't seen in a while, and especially to meet those I only knew by name.
Best,
Ben

Fun day in Paducah! Bill Eslick
and his wife arrived in their RV-6 in the a.m. And it was
great to chat w/them again. Ed Anderson got his prop
reinstalled after loaning it to Sam Hodges, which allowed
him to determine that his new Cato prop was had way too much
chord. When installed in Sam's 7A on his Renesis it
only allowed about 4900 rpm. With Ed's prop he pulled
6,100 rpm which solved his low rpm issue! Richard sohn
ran his single rotor and readily demonstrated to all
how much progress he has made over the past few yrs on this,
his 2nd proto-type. Steve Boese and Doug Dempsey gave
some fascinating briefings on info. They have discovered
based and their dyno and data discovered by being able to
map out various performance regimes. I hope this info.
Will eventually migrate to a web site where all intersted
could view it. Ed Klepis and his family were fabulous hosts for the entire
weekend, and this venue has all the makings to become a must
visit each year for alternative engine folks. If
possible it would be great to bring my 9A there next year...
At least that will be my goal! Doug Lomheim
