There is a new aircraft engine forum on the web at sportav.enqit.com. It is only for engine related issues.

The following is mail that I recieved as part of a mass-mailout from the organization of SWRFI. Given that this is a public announcement sent to the persons who have an interest in the organization or have corresponded with it, I am going to take the liberty of reposting it here and unedited...

The following is information I am repeating, but have no first hand experience with. I subscribe to several forums and lists that have discussed this from time to time in the context of Canard aircraft and auto conversion engines.
