    Build one or buy used......Dillema?

    Join a club. I read somewhere that the average annual flight time for all private pilots averaged together is less than 24 hours (per year). That is 2 hours or less per month. Also I read somewhere that in a group of 8 co-owners or club members only like one or two pilots fly regularly...

    Low Pass fly by

    The videos brought memories from my US Navy days spent on an aircraft carrier when we put on airshows out in the middle of the ocean... awesome, the wakes in the water, the bomb runs, the F14s passing by at wavetop level, then pulling up and climbing straight up until out of sight... really...

    Rotary Replacement

    Kupo squared: why do you say that the Mazda roatry engine durability has dropped off with each new engine? What statistics do you use, and where from? Just curious, thx -Ed-

    Rotary Replacement

    For OP: Why don't you post this question over on some of the rotary engine and rotary powered aircraft forums? A simple "google" search will yield much better places for this theory, from those that have actually built, rebuilt, and modified wankle rotaries for aircraft, airboat, auto, auto...
