I'm waiting for Mazda to come out with the 16B in their next RX-10, so I can put that engine in my aircraft. But, until then, I've got my installation as good as its going to get. So I'm busy build electronic ignition monitors for the Lycoming crowd. So, you see how desperate some of us are {:>) Ed Anderson Rv-6A N494BW Rotary Powered Matthews, NC eanderson@carolina.rr.com http://www.andersonee.com http://www.dmack.net/mazda/index.html http://www.flyrotary.com/ http://members.cox.net/rogersda/rotary/configs.htm#N494BW http://www.rotaryaviation.com/Rotorhead%20Truth.htm -----Original Message----- From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Chris Barber Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 10:21 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Still quiet Hey guys, do I have to go have another baby to get some activity on the list?

I just sent Tracy an email off line about this. I am thinking that there must be an issue with the controller, unless he has some other test I can do. I am out of ideas on things to check at this point.
