 This has become far more important now that Power Sport is no longer
around with their professional looking $30,000 installations.

What happended to Power Sport?

Bad business plan. The experimental AC market was not ready for a $30,000 firewall 
forward rotary engine package. I tried to talk them into selling bits and pieces when
they started five years ago but they would not listen. Their ego had shut
down their brains ability to logic and reason. It takes a lot
of auto engines, and aircraft engines for that matter, successfully 
flying around before the firewall forward buyers will step up to the counter. 
And then the price must be right.

Pilots are a conservative bunch as it is their butts on the line.

The Soob market did not happen over night. Several firewall forward 
suppliers went out of business or bankrupt in the process.
