Hi, Paul.

I saw an illistration of a cog-belt psru in your electronic newsletter under the heading "psru". Who manufacture or market plans for these?  Where can I get
more info? I plan to install a turbo rotary engine into a Cessna 172, and to keep the cowl standard, need to lift the prop relative to the engine. The RWS/
Ross/Powersport units position the prop too low.

Any info appreciated.

I think you would pretty much have the same problem as the large pulley on the prop
shaft is about the same diameter as the rotary engine. What part of the rotary do 
you think is interfering with the cowl? Many Mazda rotary installations in other 
airplanes  replace the O-320 used in the C172 with no cowl modifications. Are 
you planning on cutting down the water pump or moving it to the side of the engine?
