I've pretty well finalized my next project, and it includes using my
rotary engine.  It doesn't include an airplane however, so my RD1C
gear reduction will be for sale.  I still need to check it internally,
but don't really think there was any damage from the prop strike.  The
carbon fiber blades sheared off, and the free play seems about right.

The engine is going into a Sunbeam Alpine assuming I can get it to fit
OK.  I'm going on the theory that if Shelby could put a Ford 260 in
one I can get the rotary in there, and hopefully a lot easier.  My plan
at the moment is to install it about the same way it was in the BD-4
with the EC2 and EM2.  Not sure how I will get a speedometer reading
yet but I can always use the GPS if I have to. I haven't seen any
evidence that anyone else has done this, so it should be pretty
unique.  It's also possible I may be making as much or more power than
some of the Tigers so that will be interesting.  I also had an idea I
wanted to try out for the radiator. Now I will have something to try it
on.

If anyone is interested in the RD1C, let me know.  I will put an ad on
Tracy's web site after I check the internals.  It's been too cold in
the hanger the last couple of months to do much out there.  At least I
can't get too enthused about it.
