At least the rotary might accumulate less blame for that fiasco

I didn't know Moller had piston engines, and there is nothing on his
website about them.
I still don't understand why he can't get that rotary engine on the
market.

I suspect this may have been a freudian slip on behalf of the
non-aviation savvy reporter. Then again..............

Just so everybody will know, I've been keeping an eye on Moeller's
progress because I seriously want one of those engines. The engines
are actually being produced by Freedom Motors at
http://www.freedom-motors.com/ and they expect to deliver
the first engines in the first quarter of 2004. If you email
them they are pretty good about responding back.
Thanks,
Mark
They have been saying things like that for the past five or ten years.
I would not hold my breath. As far as we can tell it is and out
and out stock scam. The only thing you can buy from them is
worthless paper with bull shit printed on it.

Thought you would like to take a look at the Freedom Motors web site. This
company is associated with the Moller skycar that uses four rotary engines.
Interesting info on ducted fan engines.

We got a guy on here that worked for Moller as a project engineer
on the Moller rotary engine. I can't wait to here what Jeff says
about this :-)

Not much. If Paul Moller had made a decent attempt to market the engine to
jet ski's five years ago I might still be working there.

Mark,
Freedom motors http://www.freedom-motors.com/ is a site that has a rotary based
on the O. M. C. from 1970s that is designed for the Moller Sky ... Several
months back I spoke with somebody in the office that said the engines would be
available later this year and a single rotor would be about $2200+, and
approximately $3200+ for a double rotor. Not sure about true power ratings,
(sounds pretty incredible )but if they would sell to the public, sounds like a good
source. Hopefully it's not one of those ideas that keeps people hanging on for
years. I believe there is a gentleman that has worked or does work for them on the
this forum.

Dear Paul,
We make the Rotapower engine. It is not a modified RX7 Mazda engine, but
rather an engine based on the OMC air-cooled snowmobile engine. We are in
limited production now but hope to have engines for sale to the public in
the near future.
Regards,
Bruce
