i saw the discussion on the yaw of airplane engines...and was 
wondering if anyone knew why the number of cylinders on rotary
airplane engines seems to be an odd number? i've asked a
couple of people who i thought would know, and have never gotten
an answer.

granted - you don't see rotary engines much on planes
(at least where you can count the cylinders)..but i'd still
like to know.

thanks...rich cower
