Hello Mike Farb,
   I talked to my friends regarding the Single Rotor. It just so happens
Roger and Dave both have a single rotor engine. They're hanger mates. Well
the story goes like this, Roger had the turbo rotor, but robbed the rotors
for a 13b twin.  It seems he has all of the other parts left over.  Turbo
intake eccentric shaft etc. Now his was a lathe cut shaft. He added roller
bearing to the end shaft and a bunch of other trick stuff. Enginer/machinist
type. He ran the engine up to 10lb. of boost.  Well now Dave on the other
hand has a complete single normally aspirated rotor. With all of the counter
balance weights etc.

 Dave wants $500.00 for all of his rotor parts and tools to build them.
Also I have the dyno on this motor.
It put out like 68hp at 6000 RPM in it's current configuration.

Roger hasn't given me a number yet, but if it's reasonable the two of the
them together should give you what you want.

Both of the above engines have less then 10 hours since new.

Sorry it took so long to get back with you, but both of these guys have been
unavailable, plus they don't do computers.

Too bad they don't do computers. I would like them on here :-).
