Paul - Welcome to the fold ( or maybe it is the
tangle) of KIS Cruiser builders. So far as I know,
you are the only really serious rotory planned
installation of either 2 place or 4 place .

I am pretty sure that you are already tied into the
list serve. 

No not yet but as soon as I get back from vacation.

Bill Schertz had expressed interest in
a possible rotory for his Cruiser and I had cautioned
him on the perils of pioneering. Perhaps with your
example he will be inspired to follow this path.

As I have often stated - anything that can make
enough reliable power, that you would be willing
to fly behind, and did not weigh too much - can
be an airplane engine - Vance

IMHO You might add "and durable" to that statement. :-)
Not too good if it is reliable but the TBO is 300 Hours.
I think you need more like 1000 hours TBO for an economic 
aircraft engine substitute.
