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.

G'day Matt,
       I'm dreaming of a turboed single rotor for a AUF 544Kg regoed
experimental.
Cash (lack of) just keeps on keeping me in the dreamtime though :(
I have followed a few leads and ideas though. I'm in Adelaide. If you want to
contact me off list I'd be happy to share my thoughts and leads :)
Find me @   harry@cobweb.com.au    Else (08) 8278 4938

Regards,
              Harry Sheldon
