Rusty, three blocks from my house in Nederland, Texas (next
south of Beaumont, off I10 30 miles from Tex-Louisianna border) there is an old
British air boat that has been sitting for years. It has two small rotary
engines to run the air boat prop(s?). I tried to check the data plates a
few years ago - don't see any record of the info in my files. I'll go look
if you want. HP could be 35 to 50.

That's certainly
interesting. I'd love to see some pics, and hear any info that you can get
from the engines, but I wouldn't want you to go to any real trouble to gather
this. Unless they're for sale, and are dirt cheap, I'd have to figure that
it wouldn't be worth the risk of never being able to find parts to rebuild
them. Can't help but be interested though.
Thanks,
Rusty (used to have to
work on an MRI in Sulphur, LA)
