Dateline: May 8, 2007 - Houston, Texas;
Today, Officer C. Barber, Esq., on his 46th birthday, achieved FIRST CRANK of
his Wankle Rotary engine mounted on the rear of his Velocity SE. While the
engine was in no way prepared for starting, the fact that all the wires that
were layed with great care per Bob Knuckles Z-14 (duel alt, duel battery)
drawings and run to the panel actually worked. The primary switch
was turned on, the secondary switch was turned on and then the "crossover"
switch was activated. Then the lucky Mr. Barber pressed the starter button
and the rotary churned away dutifully. Then he did the same thing several
more times. <g>
All the best,
Chris
