I ain't Ed, but I have heard Tracy's Renesis and I've (almost) heard 
Dennis' Renesis, both in the air at the same time. Trust me, it's not 
the exhaust port type that's making the difference.

Dennis' plane sounds more like a quiet turboprop than a Lyc or rotary.

It might not be making quite as much power as Tracy's, but if it flies 
with Lyc 180's, that's not bad at all.

Dennis, have you flown a mission with a Lyc yet where you both started 
with full tanks, flew the same profile (with 'normal' cruise speeds for 
the Lyc) with the Lyc & then both topped the tanks at the end of the 
flight?
