Even at its worst, the OX-5 wouldn't have the gyroscopic tricks in it
the Camel rotary exhibited - even more so than other rotaries with the
possible exception of the DR-I (IMHO). P.



Very true. Dealing with modifications to a cranky ingnition system and
an unreliable valve train are inconseqential compared to the basic dynamic
problems associated with rotary engines. When Jenny is done, it should be a
realtive pussycat to fly.
