Georges,
 
This is my web page (hosted by Don Mack) which has better views of the installation before I added all the radiators and stuff.  Take a look at it.
 
 web page: http://dmack.net/Mazda/index.html

Over 385 hours Plugs up rotary time, 285 actually in the air.  I ran on a test stand for a considerable amount of time - since at that time I knew of no one with a successful rotary installation.  I started my project in 1992 and  found out about Tracy Crook around 1995 when the article on his rotary RV-4 appeared in KITPLANE.
 
Attached is a recent photo (March 12 2005) when I visited Tracy Crook and we flew to the Leeward Ranch Flyin.  Cowls OFF!

No error Jerry, but wonder why are you putting the injectors so far away
from the port? Space? Ease of fabrication?   I tried putting my four
injectors 21 inches away from the port myself and found that while I could
not tell any difference in power( up or down), I found a distinctive
hesitation bog if I opened the throttle quickly.  Also it was hell to start
on a cold morning.  But, a PP port may be a different animal in those
regards - actually cold starting should be OK as any liquid fuel will flow
down hill.  With my plugs up it has to flow up hill {:>).
 
Good luck, we are all eagerly awaiting the results and I have two almost new
rotor housings just waiting.
