Hello every one. I'l like to ask you some questions. I'm building a twin
canard airplane, COZY IV, and weight has been a big issue. I'm using
retractable landing gear from Infinity aerospace that could take  up to
2,200 lb landing weight. I've looked all over for a decent price engine with
100hp range, but they are up all in the skies. Too much money for those
Rotax, VW conversions and some other engines. I always end up with what I
wish to install on my airplane " 2 ROTARY ENGINES",  but the problems is the
weight. I always liked rotary engines, with it down side, I think it is one of
the best engine ever engineered. I was thinking in the option of the 1 rotor
rotary engine, this will cut the weigh almost 150lb. Does anyone have any
experience in this field? I know YAW POWER did one of these engine for a
Canadian guy. I have 2 turbo 13b's that I bought for $600.00 from a junk
yard that imported them from japan. He had the engine for about a year
without selling them, he gave me a good deal sense I was buying 2 of the
engines. I would like to know if some one knows a place that could machine
the eccentric shafts to be used with one rotor, YAW POWER gave the eccentric
shaft to ROSS AERO for the machining. Any comments and opinion is alway
welcome.

thank you for your time.

Dave Atkins claims he is building some one rotors. You might ask
them if they will sell the needed parts for a one rotor engine.
