Sorry Paul if this has been covered to death.

But i have been looking on the net for a year for flying examples of single rotor conversions.

A few people like Crooks, Yaw, etc have some info .

But real feed back about the conversion +do/don`t, ideas not to be spoon feed, but direction.!

 I would like to do the conversion myself as the plane i`m planning needs 80 to 100 hp and the
twin will weight to much i`m sure many others are in the same boat.

Thank you for your time and keep up the great work.

As far as I know there are none flying. You one rotor guys are on the bleeding
edge :-)

Yah,
Our best source of information is Frank from Canada he has created a one rotor engine for a
helicopter.  See attached photo. He is on this list.  He has said he will create a CD with all the
conversion info in the future.   Its a pretty easy process if you can get a single rotor e-shaft
made or bought.  There are about 8 of us on this list working on single rotors in one form or
another.  Rob, with Pineapple racing in Oregon is working on a turbo charged single.  He's built
several and is another good source of info. Check Point Engineering in Sacramento, CA is another
source of info, although I'm not to sold on them,  They tend to be to sales oriented.  They have a
single rotor eshaft for sale, $400.   Hope this helps.  Oh, by the way if you need bolts for the
single let me know, I have an extra set.
