Hey, Joa, glad to see a Quest Aircraft guy on this list! I looked at your website and it's awesome. Running through those backcountry strip scenarios really paints a picture of what your aircraft will do. Love the graphics. I also found out that Tom Hamilton, the guy who founded Hamilton-Stoddard, inventor of the Glasair, is your president.

Glad to see your interest in the "other" rotary engine.

P.S. I've been doing some consulting work for MAF lately. Also have met Bruce Kennedy, Dave Voetmann, and Harold Thomas.

Any of you guys interested in a Piper conversion (V6-STOL, Bushmaster, etc)?  If so I still have the professionally built "made for a 13b" 4130 mount from my last one (which I sold before I could hang the engine).  It was built by Snowline which welds engine mounts for Lancair and also welds assemblies for Aviat (Pitts, Husky).  As a Christmas special I'll take $400 for it which is far less than it cost me.  A 13B on a stretched Pacer really would make a fantastic bushplane for not a lot of money (basically a four place "quick build" Super Cub for around $20k).
 
Since it's been a while since I've posted I'll fill you in a little (to keep the human side going).  I moved from Central Oregon and now am working as an engineer with Quest Aircraft in Sandpoint, ID.  We're building a BIG bushplane called the Kodiak.  It's rotary powered too...though we call it a turbine :)  www.questaircraft.com  In my spare time (between work and flying) I've started a small company selling VGs which has been a lot of fun.  I'm also developing a big bushtire which will be sized for a light-sport size aircraft so you guys get those single rotors developed so I can hang one on my Rans S-7!
 
Joa
