BOTOH,
You can’t expect him to post his
perhaps proprietary and hard earned discoveries of his production if he ever
expects to make a dime.

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.

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.

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?

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.
