NO! The sound was dubbed in.

The four strokes of a internal combustion occurs simultaneously in a wankel enginethis makes it more efficient than a piston engine this why its the future sometimes you have to look at something a long time before all of us see the the light wankels will spin on

Yeah, yeah, yeah,-Ernie,---------and on and on and on and on and on, just like they've been doing for over a hundred years. Breaking engineers hearts and bankrupting companies. Just how much longer you want to look ?
Until they cure the basic flaws in the design, the damn thing will never ever work, let alone make one red cent profit.
I seem to have been down this particular road before-------Deja---Vous ?

The RC oil was 30wt Shell Rottela with 10% kerosene so it would pour at cold temps.
