Step 1 should read, "Machine the aluminum side housings from billet aluminum per attached drawings."
The real issue is that I would hate to see all of Richard's excellent work lost if anything were to happen to him. It would turn into another story of some mystical rotary engine stored away in a garage somewhere for decades, never to run again. The "hairy-chested hero" group needs to do more to further the rotary movement for those that will follow. Otherwise, we will keep reinventing the same old wheel over and over again.

how about a "how to" manual?
After following Richard's impressive effort over the years, I can just imagine that manual.
Step 1. Machine the aluminum side housings from billet aluminum.
Step 2 Cast the iron wear surfaces and machine the o-ring grooves to seal the water jacket area.

Step 302 ...........
Some projects aren't suited to DIY manuals. If you had the talent & ability to follow the instructions, you probably wouldn't need the manual at all. It sure is way beyond what I could tackle.

Richard,
That works for me, RES12 it is. So, when do you start selling these
little jewels?

Whatever, I call it the RES12. If there is a
13B based version in the future it will be a RES13.

Richard,
Then, wouldn't you refer to half a 12A as a 6A?

Yes Mark,
the airframe is my AVID Heavy Hauler, which
I flew for 10 years with a SOOB. Airframe mods are done, and the engine
is on the test stand for shake down runs.
I would call that engine a 12B because it
uses a 12A rotor and rotor housing.
