Gday.....

The Sonerai is powered by a volkswagon 2180 cc aircooled

four...This weighs

165 pounds and gives 75 hp at 3200rpm. The biggest engine they put

in them

is a 2.6 aircooled VW which weighs 190 pounds and I think puts out

about

85 - 90 hp.. I have been looking on the internet for any info on

the cut

down rotory, so any info or advice would be much appreciated..

Thanks
Matt

Looks like it is in the ball park Matt. A one rotor should give
about 90
HP and weigh right around 200 pounds depending on accessories
chosen.

You never mentioned the heavy 190 pound  2.6 liter VW  Virg.
