Gene,
Thanks for the link. That's less than one tank full from my homebase at Buffalo-Lancaster
(BQR).

Gene, Bill, Ron, et al:
When I got the original message, as has been the case in many of Gene's postings
w/images, two files per image are shown. One that appears to be compatible
with MAC/Apple machines and another for PC/DOS machines. Have had no problems
opening the PC image file listed.
Unfortunately, I saved the images and dumped the messages and for whatever the
reason, can't find Gene's original msg in the forum.
Bill, the PC vs Apple issue would be consistent with the error message that you
get if you are using a PC machine.

Ok, I apologize for the redundancy but for the sake of the people who could not
open the pictures the first time I'll try again by posting them on the BBS forum
interface.

Hello all,
I ran across this today on the web. I don't know anything about it, but I
thought I would pass it along.

Interesting. Single cylinder with reduced vibration, rotary. Single carb. I do
however wonder the fairness of the 'efciency rating against the 503 DIDC (which
I have of my firestar), as being 4 GPH. Appears to be a very inifficient RPM
and speed for the test aircraft with the 503. Dont know.
Radiator and electric start at 55 #. Pretty impresive.
"Phantom X-1, 260 lb pilot and 30 lbs of fuel". Thats a heavey duty pilot, even
from my standards (220#). Guess with all that it might be close to 4 gph. If
the pilot is the same one in the picture on your opening page, he has too have
a huge butt, caues he is about average in build.
I do have a question. How do you "derate an engine from 52 hp to 40 hp? If its
based on rpm, then I understand, even though I could rev engine past the rated
RPM.

The classic method of sqeezing more hp outa rotaries is higher rpm.
In some of my very early Wankels, before I discovered they were so
fragile, I could get them to 10K, but they didn't last too long! Very
smooth engine. Had first ones in '66...single rotor with a type of CDI.
regards,
Bob N.
