Bellanca Rocket is looking at the Orenda big block Chev based
V8 for $110,000. Too bad for their sake a three rotor is not
certified. I would love to have an experimental version
with a turbo three rotor. Putting it together would take
one person five to ten years however.

I had a chance to look at the Bellanca drawings -
it is a very complex structure, not fully getting
the structural simplification available with
composites - Hey! put that 3 rotor in a Lancair 4
I wonder if they would let you run at Reno - the
turbines cannot. Vance


We are getting a lot closer to buying Mark's KIS TR-4
Vance. Anything I should know about that airplane?
