That's Dave Atkins, Greg. He's got a lot of rotary experience and flies to OSH every year in his rotary-powered aircraft. He also has raced dragsters and sells rotary stuff for marine applications.
 
However, he also sells an injection setup that only has two injectors. One former list member died when it appeared that one of the injectors failed or got plugged such that the airplane was down to less than 50% power shortly after take-off.
 
So Dave Atkins knows what he's doing on rotaries but be cautious about just taking everything he says as Gospel.

As I have cruised around, looking at options, I came across www.camdensuperchargers.com, who make kits for rotaries.  Has anybody had any experience with this?  I like the idea of less heat, and plumbing, but how about endurance?  I know John Slade had a lot of fun until he got the right Turbo, I wonder if the situation would be any different with this.
