 As I recall somebody got at least one.

I just got an e-mail back from Marcotte today:

Hi Dave

 I am putting a Mazda 13B rotary engine in an RV-6 and am very interested in
your PSRU's.

Very good choice.

 Could you pleae tell me if you sell an approiate backing plate
for the 13B?

Yes we just finished the 13B version of the DIRECT BOLT ON BELLHOUSING.

Could you also please send more specifics about the PSRU?


Namely, the length including backing plate

12 inches

, weight (I am interested in your
300 hp model)

54 pounds( wet)

drive train offset distance,

1.72 inches

and the cost.

$ 4700 Canadian. [About 3K US]

 Also, if you have
the names of anyone using or flying your PSRU on a 13B that would be
helpfull too.

I sold the first 13 B unit only a month ago, but more than 10 are using it on
Subaru.

Cheers,
Mario.

I Would be willing to bet that the one he sold went to someone on this list.
So, who got it and what do you think of it?  Its a little longer, heavier and
costlier than I was hoping.

Dave Leonard

I think that may be Bob Darrah with a three rotor. Bob?
