          I see that www.freedommotors.com is no longer there. This was the engine
          vapourware side of the Moller skycar. Shame in a way bacause the engine
          concept was good and would have been popular for homebuilders if 1/ actually
          made and 2/ offered for a low initial price.

          I see http://www.italsistem.com/italiano/XR-8.htm is offering a Fichtel and
          Sachs KM914 derivative for the go kart scene for 3400 euro from
          www.HV-racing.de
          Here is a short article in German from guys who drove both this new engine
          and the old (bankrupt) Wankel GmbH engine. They like this new one better
          because it is small and lighter.

          This engine is supposedly made with castings for the Dimond/MidwestAero
          engine.
