Hi and thanks for your letter. Rotary engines have not had the greatest
appeal in the past and some of their troubles even though solved still stick with
the product. Most of the problems have been with the prop drives and extremely
high fuel consumption. We would print more rotary articles if others asked for
them or if some one submitted one, so far there doesn't seem to be much
interest. Norm

He was the only one who could fly my Tailwind from the right seat, probably
better than me.

For those who have not read the entire exchange, Norm Goyer's comment
quoted below is 100 per cent bull shit. It demonstrates the arrogance
and ignorance of Custom Plane. Norm presents himself as an expert but
really is unaware of the real action on the auto conversion front. His
comments about prop drives and fuel consumption are simply wrong. We
have had a wonderful prop drive for years. It is not a problem,
period. Also, the modern rotary engine consumes fuel at nearly the
same rate as a Lyc putting out the same power. Jerry

Dennis, I usually fly across the big rocks just south of Riverton, Wyoming.
Sometimes I stay north until I pass the Grand Tetons as the ride is so
gorgeous, especially this time of the year. The Wind River Canyon, just
North and West of Riverton is a sight you won't ever forget.
I'm based at Westover Airport, O70 near the towns of Jackson and Sutter
Creek. I'm about 100 miles east of Oakland.
Racing now? Nah..... I'm working on my spinner backplate assembly. Hope to
have the Tailwind back in the air in a couple weeks.
Closed escrow on my old house yesterday......Feeling like a FREE man
now.....
Look forward to seeing you out here.
Weav

Jerry,
Maybe some of you younger guys don't remember the trouble that the
rotary engine had
(read that Mazda) in the early 70's. I believe I overhauled 4 engines
during the early days. Mazda, in a class action suit, paid out millions.
That memory raises questions as Norm is pointing out. Most folks now know
the world is not flat--it takes time to prove a point.
I think a good article to Custom Planes featuring Tracys RV4 and others
might result in
the article being published and hence changing Norm's mind--at least make
him more open minded
which could make others look at the best engine going--the Mazda rotary.
Jerry, Paul, Tracy, how about it?
Robert
