Paul,
Thanks for the rapid response. If you aren't familiar with
Moller he bought the rights to the OMC rotary engine when
they went bankrupt several years ago. Supposedly he has
made significant progress in reducing emissions with the
engine.

Every time I ask them how soon are they going to go into production
I get another story about production delays or similar feedback.

Moller is working with an outfit called Freedom Motors who make
jet-skis and boats using the Moller rotary engine.

They also give me plenty of excuses but no firm information.

This engine was offered 6 or 7 years ago by a company called
Rotary Applications International of Watsonville, CA by a man
named Lee Parker. I have tried to contact him several times but
without success. He was supposed to market it for homebuilts.

This is an ideal engine for my BD-5 homebuilt project but until
I can get my hands on an engine I'm reluctant to start construction.

If you have any information on Moller and the rest I'd be interested.

If you would like a copy a copy of the RAI brochure I'd be happy to
send it to you.

I visited the Norton factory in England some time ago to look at
their rotary and was going to use one of theirs but the cost went
totally out of bounds. Supposedly the RAI rotary was going to cost
about the same as a Rotax of similar Hp?

Also, I'd like to purchase a copy of your CD with back copies of the
newsletter. Could you provide me with details?

Regards,
John K. Lewis
