Rotary help!

Hello everyone I'm new to rotary engines and am trying to learn the most I can about these engines. I have ordered books, reading onlin and was wkndering what I good way to learn these motors would be. I know the best way is robably just over time learning as you go, but I'm not picking up ny first rx7 till Sunday(which I am absokutleu ecstatic about and can not wait) but I want to learn as much as I can in that time. Anywhere I could learn more about them, books I could read I would really love the advice.

I knew cars,sort of when I started.But I had no idea about the Rotary engine.
That is all that is different in this case.Everything else is auto mechanics.
I read the Sec Gen Forums,archives and questions/answers posted on THIS Forum and was soon doing stuff that "piston owners" feared to do!.
It's all here,believe it or not.
The Forum has the material.Why do you think Google shows the RX7 Club as one of the First places to look for info?
