I only put the URL for the website up for those interested in the
conversion. It appears to be successfull. That's all I'm saying.

Appearances can be deceiving and sometimes things can be as they appear.
Anytime something is presented as ALL positive with NONE of the negatives
displayed, as in this case, my bull**** flag goes up.

at least until all the frauds and wannabees were minimized. g

I expect that a large percentage of "quiet" rah readers have
sufficiently accurate BS flags. They simply choose to not get
involved. Such involvement seems even more pointless when one
considers that a number of auto-conversion proponents here have yet to
even build and fly an auto-conversion. One of them has repeatedly
demonstrated technical ignorance on fundamental engine issues. When
such people have walked the walk for a while, then perhaps more people
will pay attention to their pro auto-conversion arguments. Until
then, I expect many people are just "clicking through" and rolling
their eyes.

I would very much expect your expectation to be spot on.
I wuz using a bit of 'drama' above. g

For all my BS'ing here, I don't underestimate the 'silent majority'.

The wannabees, fruits, flakes and fringe folks deserve a shot
at the microphone.... but I'll not give them a free pass, even
if it is pointless. If that is the worst I do here, I'm in good shape!
However, 'tis my aim to reduce some of my more 'colorful' antics,
but no one should hold their breath. g

The "wannabees, fruits, flakes and fringe folks" would include such
poseurs as Steve Wittman, Roger Mellema, Ray Geschwender, Bernie
Pietenpol, Ray Ward, Jerry Schweitzer and the Reverend Ron Van der
Camp. Some of the afore mentioned people designed auto conversions,
some designed entire airplanes, but all of the flew behind auto
conversions at one time or another. You might recognize a couple of
the names.

=====================================

Enough of your brand of distortion, Corky.
Cease twisting my words to your agenda.

I do not consider Steve Wittman, Roger Mellema,
Ray Geschwender, Bernie Pietenpol, Ray Ward,
Jerry Schweitzer and the Reverend Ron Van der
Camp in YOUR class of activity. FAR from it, sir.
SO...quit flattering yourself right now !!!!!

In conclusion...
It appears impossible for you to comprehend where
I stand on auto conversions given your incredulous
level of naivete and other factors. You are about the
most clueless dood in RAH to accurately represent,
interpret or depict my true position. PLEEZ, spin no
more on my behalf. You only embarrass yourself.

Pardon? I twisted your words? See below.

Neither do I.

Here are the words you typed, presumably you meant them: "The
wannabees, fruits, flakes and fringe folks deserve a shot at the
microphone.... but I'll not give them a free pass, even if it is
pointless."

What I pointed out is that better men that me (as you said and to
which I agree) have chosen to fly behind auto engine conversions,
none of whom were flakes or wannabees. What I'm doing is attempting
to follow in their footsteps. I take full responsibility for the path
I'm following.

I'm in the process of fabricating an engine test stand as you read
this. I fully intend to run the engine for many hours (with a prop
installed) prior to installing it in the engine compartment for good.
