Thanks Ernest,

Yes, I was just too pleased to be zooming along in a climb at 155 mph, could
not wait to level off an see what speed I got.  Had just started to do that
when the Fates decided they had played with me long enough.  Sort of a
horrible feeling to feel and know you engine was involved in destroying
itself as you headed for safe haven - but, hey - perhaps time to consider P
Ports! Opportunity!

I continue to be impressed by the rotary engine - especially its
"If-Runing - will Continue to run"  nature.  I just don't believe a piston
engine with zero compression would have done as well.

If I should be so lucky only to have to replace seals then the engine will
be back together quickly but given the duration of the flight after the
problem began, I am thinking the rotor housings probably took a beating -
just hope my $$ high compression rotors are not damaged.  I do have two N/A
housings in excellent shape - but no more High compression rotors.

Ed A
