Hi Paul,
As we are all  looking to power plants capable of propelling our plane to new heights and increasing performance this info may be of interest, these are not rotaries but turbines.
On Friday the 20th I went to see my friend at the local field to take a look at his two on line projects, he has two Lancair 4p planes in production with the first flying of  hours.
Both planes have Walter 601 turbines, the first completed and flying is a beautiful light silver gold, with canopy of  the Walter 601 looks small .
This is an impressive plane in all respects with performance that all aviators would envy. On my next visit I will try and get photo of the installation and post for the members to view. This is a first class installation of an aging turbine engine that has found new life.
