The on going project is the S-beam engine mount which now comes with a custom oil pan. It is a good deal. I am still very committed to p ports and can bore housings, supply inserts and so on. I love the rotary engine. I don't say much over here because I might slip up and mention Paul Lamar in a favorable light. I don't want to cause anyone to have a heart attack. Unfortunately, my retirement income does not allow me to maintain a plane. Hanger rent, insurance, etc. I sold my flying Tailwind but I intend to resume work on the rotary powered one this winter. Eventually it will be sold as a project but not until it is finished firewall forward. I've slowly come to realize that I would rather build than fly anyway. Life is good.
