I just checked up on the Moeller site and see where Freedom Motors
is
taking orders for their
engines.
"Beta versions of the RotapowerŪ 650 and 1300 will be available
this
summer and priced at $5,000
and $7,000, respectively. Volume pricing reductions will be
announced
as production levels
increase later this year. "

Thought I would pass this along to the group.

What ever you do don't send them any money.
They have had the same message up for 3+ years. Paul Moller recently
plead guilty to stock violations.

The Rotapower 650 announcement went up a few days ago. If you will
notice,
Freedom Motors had planned to put the 530cc engine into production
first,
but because of the interest received in the larger
displacement/horsepower
output engine the 650cc is being produced first.
Also, Dr. Moller did not "plead guilty" to anything. Rather than go
into a
long battle with the SEC, he agreed to pay a fine.

I'll believe after I see it run for 500 hours Bruce. Its going to take you
years to overcome your image. Best change your company name and hide
the owner ship of the new company.

Bruce,
If nothing else you will owe a great deal to those that have taken the time,
risked their very lives, and went to great lengths to show rotaries do make
fine aircraft engines. Mail groups, organizations, and websites have laid
the ground work to show these are viable options. Had these pioneers not
done this your email and engine would be in the category of "not me" or "who
in h$!! would want to fly one of those".
Part of the contributing factor to the demise of the rotary in the US was
ignorance. These people and groups are overcoming this at your benefit.
Yes, all the engineering and development in the world does not sell to an
uninformed or unreceptive public.
Just my take on this, I could be wrong.
