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
