This would be no problem at all if Tracy went to the 2.85:1 PSRU.
Prop rotates in right direction.

This would be a good point for me to get input on interest on the 2.85 : 1
drive.
 ...
You don't have to commit to buy now but I'd like to get a reading on how
much interest there is in this ratio.

I can't believe that Tracy is finally caving in to Paul's harassment!
(Did I just say that? :)  He's actually going to consider designing and
building another PSRU.  (I hope Paul never wants ME to do something!)

Tracy & I email-discussed this issue before, and he has convinced me
that the "wrong" direction prop is a non-issue, but still ... I'd rather
go with the flow as much as possible.  (Well, as much as you CAN after
sticking a Wankel engine in your plane.)

Hmm.  Rotary engine, AND a prop that rotates in the "right" direction?
Count me in.  I'm MORE than interested - I'd actually be happy to
provide a deposit to help cover R&D costs - Tracy's good for it, I
suppose. :)  Hey, maybe he could add one more feature while he's at it:
CS prop capability.

1) The "right" prop direction sure makes the Dynafocal/Conical engine
mount housings look attractive.

2) Prop selection goes way up.

3) The Renesis engine becomes a good second option.  Renesis will be in
production, lighter and smaller.

Well, I just wanted to give Tracy a reading on my interest ...

It take a lot of patience :-) It some time takes years :-)

We will have to find another place for the water to come out
of the new aluminum end housing. Not hard to do.
