Gents..
I just returned from the AMA show in Indy. Lots of great technology in the motorcycle biz, and the most interesting to me was a new engine that just went into production last month in the USA. The biggest suprise I thought was they are actually promoteing their engine to the AViation market!! INcludeing experimental , part 103, and certified.
Although admittedly due to the small Aviation market, their efforts at advertiseing in this venue are virtually non-existant, but they definately want to sell into our market, according to their personnell working the booth. This alone made me interested. After looking over their engines, I was even more so.
As far as I could discern from theirs reps, they dont have a ready available reduction unit for us, but are aware of our needs (2500 rpms or so at the prop shaft) and are very willing to talk about fitting existing gearboxs to their engine for anybody.
The current production is a single rotor 25 hp, a single rotor 85 hp and a twin rotor 160 hp. with the single rotor 85 weighing 106 lbs....if any of you are interested...check em out at:

Oh ya...one more thing...the fuel consumption rate they claim is .61lbs per Hp Hour. this wont touch a 4 stroke but betters the current 2 strokes we all have come to love!..hehe
