 Hi Paul,

    Below is message on the RV -list from Ray (Powersport) with a summary of
their orders thus far.  Thought you might find it interesting.  Lets see
18,000 for the engine and another 4,000 for the radiators and etc., or a
cool $22,.000.  I remember when Hatch first announced his estimated price
for this engine at $20,000 and many folks as well as Everett apparently did
not believe that was a viable cost.  Shows how times change.

To RV'ers

Powersport has also changed to a MT 3 blade Prop.

We had flown off our 40 hours to get to Oshkosh, using Allen Tohl's
earlier RV-3 Powersport powered prop a 70" dia x 85" pitch.
(but we hit our rev limit at 195 straight and level).
We received our MTV-18b/183-17  72" dia.
3 blade electric constant speed prop at Oshkosh
and installed it right after flying back from Oshkosh.

We now have 80 hours on our Powersport Rotary powered
RV-6A  and we love this prop. Extremely smooth and quiet,
Take-off distance 250 feet, climb 2500 ft/min.
cruise 190 mph indicated at 2300 prop speed at 2,000 ft

We are now a OEM dealer for MT props and do recommend
this prop to our customers.

Engines orders and reduction drives to date,
4  RV-8,  2 RV-6, 1 RV-4, 2 Velocity, 1 Lancair 235
