Hi Leon,
I note you're a fellow Australian. I'm new to this group and know little
about rotary engines (but very interested). I'm thinking of a 13B for an
RV7 but I'm concerned about being able to find the appropriate manifolds and
radiators etc in Aus. I don't have the ability/knowledge to make my own. Do
you know of anyone local (Australia) who can help, I'm from Brisbane.
Thanks
Greg
