Paul,
   Doug Marker, a Carter Copter investor and their web site
administrator, posts regularly on 2 of the Rotorcraft newsgroups I
participate in. A large number people on these ng's have suggested that
they drop the piston engines in favor of a Turbine or a Turbocharged
Wankel Rotary.

Doug has reported back, that Jay Carter is considering both of these
alternatives, but that time and money won't allow them to convert to
either of these powerplants, at this time. This latest mishap certainly
gives them the time, and from what I've learned here, I can't believe
that the cost of going Rotary would be all that great, especially in
comparison to a Turbine !
