Burt has develped a pipeline into the government
 trough, so the answer is probably like the old
yacht story, if you have to ask-----". However,
if you contacted Rich at CI Composites, or Steve
and Chuck at Composites Unlimited a rough guess
would be somewhere between $200K and $300k for
a set of parts and molds. - Just to put a rough
dollar sign on dreams - Vance

Obviously blue foam mold-less construction is the only way to go for
a one off.

I'm with you Paul. For a one off the expense and time required to build the
mold is not worth it. Really if you borrowed the long EZ/COSY/E-RACER
techniques, you should be able to build it pretty cheap. It is the design
time, and systems that cost $$$$. Should be able to do it for under $100K if
you kept it simple. Would be a great way to get publicity for the rotary as
a aircraft engine. Might even be able to get some sponsors if you were far
enough along to show that it might actually be finished.
