Anyone have an old OMC or Sachs rotary sitting around? I know one of
the guys that did the production for OMC back in the day and he
supposedly has a couple in his attic. I don't think he wants to part
with them though. A rotary around 20 hp would make a great powerplant
for an ultralight powered sailplane....

There are three guys on the Hummelbird list who are in possesion of the OMC
rotaries. More lUnfortunately this is now a really old engine, so sourceing
parts is diffecult. Hopefully either the freedom motors or Wankel GesmbH
designs will be bought out a bankraupcy auction cheap, so someone can build
them for a realistic price.
