Great weather at Sun & Fun after run= ning a gauntlet of two squall lines across Northern Florida on Monday on th= e way down.=A0 Attendance seemed to be down a bit, but saw a number of old = friends and made some new ones.

First morning, I thought Tracy and I wou= ld be the only rotary powered aircraft on =93Auto Row=94, but Bill Eslick a= nd his wife =A0Linda showed up and the Chuck Dunlop flew his yellow bird in= from Arizona.=A0 So we ended up with 4 rotary powered birds and one Subaru= installation that started out as one of Eggenfellers =A0FWF units and got = extensively modified including the owner (Larry) own gear box design.=A0 He= also removed the two GM cores that were up front (similar to mine but that= had no ducting on the Eggenfeller installation) and placed a huge radiator= back of the engine.=A0 Apparently it was working OK.

=A0

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

=A0

The Cozy Girrls were there with their pr= oducts tailored for the canard birds and an very nice =A0aluminum bezel (go= es better with glass cockpit styles than my =93steam gauge=94 format) which= remotes the display and control buttons of my EFISM unit.=A0 =A0Ed Klepeis= was there with his fine looking radiators and other components.=A0 Ed=92s = been suggesting I should exchange my old GM cores for some of his fine radi= ators, but I keep resisting as long as the cores keep doing the job.=A0 So = I kept a close eye on Ed to make sure he didn=92t approach my aircraft with= an ice pick {:>}.

As some of you know, I got dragged over = to the =93dark side=94 and got talked into designing a monitor for the Emag= /Pmag electronic ignition system.=A0 Got to demonstrate it to the Emag guys= and they were favorably impressed, so it looks like right now me and my pa= rtner will be the first ones to have a unit on the street.=A0 But, I=92m su= re the EFISM big guys won=92t be far behind.

I guess the only thing a bit disappointi= ng is that after 10 years, we still don=92t have more of the flying rotary= =92s show up.=A0 But, certainly trying to make it here from California and = other distant places given the distance and weather can be problematic.

=A0

Its not that I=92m getting tired of seei= ng the same faces, but would be nice to see a =93second generation=94 of 3 = or 4 installations sitting along side us old guys with our old mounts.

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

Hope to see more of you there next year.=
