Hi,

One piece of advanced news which might be of interest:  our 220 hp turbocharged, FADEC-controlled rotary engine (see
attached picture) will fly by the end of the month in our test Piper Turbo Arrow III in Daytona Beach, Florida.  Our
partner Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is in the process of finishing the installation (see attached pictures)
and will conduct flight testing.  If initial flight tests are ok, the plane will be presented at Sun'n Fun in April.
Case being, look for us on the flight line or on Embry-Riddle's exhibit (E21-23).  This engine will be the first
flying of a family spanning the 180-360 hp range (we have a normally-aspirated 180 hp model on the test bench, 3-rotor
models are to follow) which will be available to the experimental market in the coming months and which is presently
being further developed toward certification and volume production



Finally, I would like to get in touch with Mr Paul Lamar, can you help?  Thank you.



Best regards,



Francois A. Badoux

We don't publish .doc files Francois. Please extract the picture as jpgs
and send those. Or you can convert the files to .pdf or .html format.

Unfortunately I was in Switzerland last week and could have visited if I had
known. Here are some file photos of the Mecanair engine taken at OSH a few years
ago. I am happy to hear you are considering selling your fine engine
in the experimental aircraft market. Rumor has it one new Van's RV series
is now completed every day of the year.
