Paul, Thanks for the info. The air cooled rotor explains the big blower on the front top, looks like some sort of a super charger. Too bad it's not feeding the intake. I remember now a talk given by Norton at a tent in Oshkosh. The air cooled rotor seemed clever at the time. They had several sizes of engines, from around 25 hp to 60 or 70 hp. But I don't remember anything looking like the two rotor in Pat Main's Sonex. The data sheet is now in html format. Haven't gotten a rely yet from Mid West. Any word on the Moller engine?

No word. I would not hold my breath. Too many broken promises. Paul Lamar The AirCraft Rotary Engine NewsLetter. Powered by Linux. ACRE NL web site. http://home.earthlink.net/~rotaryeng/ http://www.linux.org
