To Bill Jepson: Yes, we shall most probably sell our planetary reductor

drive separately to private rotary engine owners.  We'll be taking
orders for both the whole engines and for the drive soon,

hopefully

already at Sun'n Fun.

Francois,
 Fantastic news. The more successful flying rotarys the better! I really wish you well, as a mechanical engineer
I really like your purpose built Planetary. The slow speed isn't a problem for me I'm building an RV-10 and would prefer to swing a large prop. The ability to use a standard constant speed prop is one the things that has me hanging back on Tracy's unit. Tracys design is fine, but the RV-10 will
need a C/S and I don't want to spend as much as my plane
on a electric! I'm running a 20B by the way but normally aspirated and limited to 260 hp the max allowed for the RV. What is your reduction ratio Francois? We rotor heads want your certification efforts to succeed since it will bring acceptance to rotary power. Do you have any rough pricing for the engines yet? Non certified would be fine for the homebuilder.
Many Thanks for your Efforts!,
Bill Jepson
