commercial pilot new to forum
 

My name is Kevin, I live in NW Alabama. I like the RX-7, and have drove the one ZGN has way back in the day. I like cruizin with ZGN also.

Being an aviator, I am into speed and fast machines. I met thru my previous flying job, a USAF aviator, and he was building a kit airplane called an RV-8
( http://vansaircraft.com/public/rv-8int.htm ) and he was using a Mazda RX-8 engine. I think rotary power for kit airplanes is pretty cool.

His site is here.... http://www.kit-plane-advice.com/

Of course, its also fun to put mustangs in their place when cruizing around town and at the drag strip.

In closing, I appreciate ZGN for showing me the way and lore of the RX-7.
I hope to get an RX-7 similar to ZGN's some day.

Kevin

Welcome to the forum, time to get you started on that rotary powered RV8

Welcome!!

I've been in the AF 13 years (enlisted), but it was always my dream to be a fighter pilot. What did you fly when you were in?

Yeah, let's get moving on getting you into a rotary powered vehicle...whether it has wheels or wings, no matter haha.

Welcome, another pilot here. Just SEL though. I like the idea of a renesis for a Van's. I helped a guy put a 13B in a Zlin about 7 years ago.

welcome! Im currently at Keesler finishing up Air Traffic Control training. Very nice air craft.

welcome to the club....once you go rotary you can't go back.

Yeah, Most of us like to "fly" with our rotaries, but you give the term a new meaning.

I would think a Renesis would make a good aircraft power plant, good high end torque will drive a prop well and the very lightweight and compant design of the Renesis should make the plane quite a bit of fun (don't forget the captive oil reservoir, allowing longer inverted times than a V-type piston engine).

also curious, what did you fly in the air force?

i never served in the USAF, but I am a Eagle Scout:)

I belive the highlighed quote in red is suppose to read like this.

I met a USAF aviator, through my previous job, who was building a rotary powered RV-8.

kwkpilot is not in the USAF.

Oh alright, haha. Still cool though.
