Dirck,
I'm not clear on what you mean by this. If Diamond is
dropping the Rotax engine for a Wankel wouldn't it take
considerable development and marketing to make it happen
successfully?
What have you got in mind?

Peter thanks,

Time will teach us weather or not Diamond will sell a rotary for money. I
am offering them money and wonder if sales or anyone will respond. The news
about the Diamond ownership of the Midwest rotary is worldwide. The Diamond
fleet seems well hooked-up with engine agreements other than rotary. I ask
myself why? Why would they spend a dime on rotary when so much of their
product line is the ICE. I do not believe or hint at their exit from ICE,
where I am is only to guess, that they feel that the fantastic rotary needs
to be hobbled, so as to keep their ICE alliances safe.

If I wuz them, I would use the rotary card as a means of pressuring their
ICE alliances into fruitful deals. I will wait a few weeks to hear from
them and share it. The enemy to that type of behavior a frustrated ready,
willing and able customer. One, dozens, hundreds, who knows. I did not want
a fight all I want is a rotary solution for a proper price, or some
technical logic that teaches it will not work on my Searey. Paul told me
the [Mazda] rotary is not recommended to replace the 912.. OK, that is bible which
teaches me where not to go.

Certification of the power plant does not mean much to people willing to
paste EXPERIMENTAL on the door or go part 103. I have a lot to learn yet
and defer to the board here for comment. ...and does anyone know the
package details and price Midwest sold the 105hp for?

Thank you,

Dirck
