If you want to have a quiet
rotary powered plane, you need to get someone in Australia to talk with Ian
Beadle to see what he has done with his RV6 powered with a Renesis.
This plane is quiet! I don’t
know where Bindoon is located….

You just need to fly at Mach 1 so
you stay ahead of the sound. ;-)
Can anyone report on the
effectiveness of the tangential muffler in actual real world situations? (As
I recall Al G. is running a tangential muffler on his Velocity.) I ask
because I'm in the process of building one for my Lancair with the hopes that
it will work better than the DNA muffler that I'm currently running. I
think it will work better at reducing the noise level in the cabin, but at what
cost to power? Hopefully, this will save me the cost of a new Zulu ANR
headset. Comments appreciated.

Hey gang!
I came across a rare find this weekend.
Any serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate this.
Bluelines from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary engine.
I just put them up on eBay
