The Midwest Engines AE50R weighs 72.7 Lb with gear reduction, intake
filters, alternator, etc. Power is 51 HP at 7500 RPM engine speed. Gear
reduction is 3.225. The whole thing is certified to JAR 22. By the way,
it's a 294 cc rotary which goes back to the Norton twin-rotor
motorcycle.

If interested, call Ken Huntley at 011-441452-857456. As of 1997 their
price was 5200 - 5600 Lb sterling.

Well I guess that almost makes it under the weight wire.

Sorry I was so flippant about that. The terseness of 
the message set me off.

That is an awful lot of money for 51 HP.
