We need to build a light/ultralight plane to test our single rotor

engine on.

We have found the woody pusher, but would like more options.

Good afternoon genlemen:  I have a Moni (Motorglider)that is nearing
completion with the original 30 HP KFM 2 stroke.  I have a single rotor
Israeli engine (Saskil, Savaro???) that I bought from a German Fellow last
summer, that I thought I might try to modify for the Moni. I purchased this
engine with the understanding that it was approx. 38 HP but have discovered
since that maybe the German fellow was being overly optimistic.  The Moni is
marginally powered at 25-30 HP. and I was hoping to better this by upping
the HP.  What is the horse power rating of your single rotor?  What does it
weigh?

William

William, If you are addressing this post to me, then the engine will produce
around 50 Hp. This will vary with diffenent setups.  We are in the developement
stages now, and don't have any firm numbers as of yet. These rotary engines can
produce well over 100 HP per rotor depending what is done to them.
We don't yet know the weight. The goal is over one HP per LB.
We firmly believe this engine is capable of besting the two cycle engines in
weight and power.

Not to mention they don't seize :-)

Ain't that good news?
