Great weather at Sun & Fun after running a gauntlet of two squall lines acros= s Northern Florida on Monday on the way down.  Attendance seemed to be d= own a bit, but saw a number of old friends and made some new ones.

 

First morning, I thought Tracy and I would be the only rotary powered aircraft on “Auto Row”, but Bill Eslick and his wife  Linda showed up = and the Chuck Dunlop flew his yellow bird in from Arizona.  So we ended up with 4 rotary powered birds and one Subaru installation that started out as= one of Eggenfellers  FWF units and got extensively modified including the owner (Larry) own gear box design.  He also removed the two GM cores t= hat were up front (similar to mine but that had no ducting on the Eggenfeller installation) and placed a huge radiator back of the engine.  Apparent= ly it was working OK.

 

I think there were a couple of Corvair engines in some Kr2 aircraft, but that= was about it.

 

The Cozy Girrls were there with their products tailored for the canard birds an= d an very nice  aluminum bezel (goes better with glass cockpit styles than = my “steam gauge” format) which remotes the display and control but= tons of my EFISM unit.   Ed Klepeis was there with his fine looking radiators and other components.  Ed’s been suggesting I should exchange my old GM cores for some of his fine radiators, but I keep resisti= ng as long as the cores keep doing the job.  So I kept a close eye on Ed = to make sure he didn’t approach my aircraft with an ice pick {:>}.

 

As some of you know, I got dragged over to the “dark side” and got talked into designing a monitor for the Emag/Pmag electronic ignition system.  Got to demonstrate it to the Emag guys and they were favorabl= y impressed, so it looks like right now me and my partner will be the first o= nes to have a unit on the street.  But, I’m sure the EFISM big guys won’t be far behind.

 

I guess the only thing a bit disappointing is that after 10 years, we still don’t have more of the flying rotary’s show up.  But, certainly trying to make it here from California and other distant places g= iven the distance and weather can be problematic.

 

Its not that I’m getting tired of seeing the same faces, but would be nic= e to see a “second generation” of 3 or 4 installations sitting along side us old guys with our old mounts.

 

In any case, the bull sessions were great and we had our own little camping ar= ea were most of us were able to camp out.

 

Hope to see more of you there next year.
