A couple of reasons. One you are the builder. My liability would be
higher
if I gave you a ready to go product. Two, my inventory would be higher
as I would have to have several versions for each different type of
manifold. Three the price would be higher if I had to do the
low tech drilling of the mounting holes.
Putting a rotary engine in is not as easy as assembling a kit.
The journey is the challenge and the goal in most cases.
If you just want to fly get a Lycoming.
The design is straight forward with simple low tech tuned organ pipes
and we have plenty of data from Mazda tech papers proving that it
will work. What makes you think it won't?

Just wondering if you have flown what you manufacture??....It would
be nice to see if you
are getting the performance or data you state! I don't want to throw
good money after bad trying
different approaches with the induction system.
Also if you can save someone time building it, then it's worth the
price offered.
Please don't hide behind liability, no one would sell anything if that
were the case, I would hang
up my A&P.

It is easy to ignore product liability if you have nothing to lose.
Please don't buy it. Build your own.
Paul Lamar
No offense Tom, but, that's what we're all here for. We've got a lot of
"theorizing" going on and some, like Paul, are putting out pieces that
we're gearing up to put to use. The proof is in the puddin' and we ain't
there yet (mostly). Some of us may very well be throwing good money at
stuff that will end up on the cutting room floor, some already have. If
you're looking for something to experiment with ante up. If you're looking
for off-the-shelf-flight-tested-FAA-PMA-TSO-stamped-products you're in the
wrong store. P-)
