Hi, Paul....I just tried several search engines on the net to find info regarding the Mecanair
rotary....all my previous sites now state that the page cannot be found. It would appear that
Mecanair has pulled their advertising for the rotary. Sad news.  Hope I'm wrong.  Paul Conner,

Yep. no mention of the rotary on the site now. I also notice they have
become a Swiss distributor of Lycoming hmmmmm. :)
I am not too surprised as I think it finally dawned on the Europeans the
FAA was not going to certify auto engine parts in aircraft engines.

I think the same fate awaits that A class Mercedes turbo diesel engine
somebody is also trying to get certified in the States and an 
aircraft engine equivalent to an O-320.

BTW here is a picture of an econo box  A class Mercedes I recently had a chance
to flog around Europe. Not bad for a piston engine but my guess is nowhere near
the power of a O-320. Top speed was 175 clicks or about 110 MPH.
