Dear Paul,
it was a real pleasure to hear from you. In brief words: we work at the moment
on a restructuring and revitalization of the company. It looks like we will be
operational by FEB/March 2002 and I will personally involved as before.
 The main focus will be to continue the good work on DIESEL/KEROSENE Multifuel
Engines (LOCR/VLDE/AR Series, single and twin rotor) and the revival of our
production Engine Series LCR for a.) UL Aircraft and UL Helicopter (please
refer to www.stittind.com), Race Karts, Boats and Industrail Applications s.a.
Lawnmower, Gensets etc.
This is in brief the status. I will keep you in the loop whenever important
things will come up.
I wish you a good 2002 and remain with best personal regards, yours

Is the Rotax 582 two cycle the only powerplant available ...?

When the RHCI factory was in business, the Rotax 582 was the only powerplant ever installed or tried by the factory. It would be fine if everyone weighed 150 lbs., but it soon became clear that other powerplant's needed to be considered. To this date Rotax 618 has been installed in 4 aircraft in South Africa.

There is now two aircraft with Solar T62 turbines flying and one Wankel Rotary. Both Solar Turbine and Wankel Rotary have Thousands of tested hours and have become very dependable. I will have documentation with photo of installations and problems overcome during installation and initial testing.
