Where do these stories come from? : ) There has been no change to the 2.85 (RD-1C) design. My takeoff RPM is around 6200 rpm (limited by fixed pitch prop) and top speed rpm is 7450 so far. Top speed runs have been limited due to oil mist blowing out of the crankcase vent at anything above 7000 rpm. Still working on an oil / air separator needed for air racing. No time for making this and new prop cuffs so I'll miss the Ohio to Oshkosh race this year. Look forward to doing it next year in the 20B powered RV-8 which is moving ahead (finally). I noticed they are separating the formula RV classes by engine displacement Bwahh Ha Ha Ha! .... : )

Tracy, don't ruin it for the rest of us before we get a chance. Go easy on the Lycosaurus' of the world, lest they declare the rotary to have some stupid amount of displacement per rotor.

Ah! Hell! Go for it. Blow 'em out the sky.
