I think a couple of rotary folks might have them but I know of no rotaries
flying with them so far. Real heavy.

A better question is 'Can anyone actually BUY one of these drives?" .  I
know of only one 13B version that was sold and I think it had the only set
of gears (the prototypes) ever made for that version.  The 13B & Marcotte
drive shown at Sun & Fun last year was an empty shell.  I really liked what
I saw of the Marcotte drive and would not have started building drives if
they had actually delivered.  I would love to see how they actually work on
an airplane so I encourage anyone with the urge to buy one (if possible) and
fly it.
