I talked with a couple of motor cops in England who were riding
them. This was almost 20 years ago.  The 6.5B would be a contender
for 70-100 hp applications if it were made with aluminum side
housings. I saw one that Dave Atkins had put together up at
Arlington a few years ago. It ran pretty smooth. Don't know how much
power it made. Don't know if Mr. Atkins is even trying to sell a
single rotor engine. He used stock cast iron end housings, so it
was heavy. The market for  a lightweight single rotor  is wide open.
