A recent decision was made by the owner of Diamond to not go forward

with

the

2 rotor at this time. He feels it is too expensive to make. My feeling

is

people will pay extra for the wankel. Send him email and tell him you
will pay $12,000 US :) My guess also is he does not fully understand

the

engineering trade offs that affect the price of manufacturing it as
Mark Wrathal pointed out. If it were me I would miniaturize the Mazda.

I think that you are on to something again, Paul.

"If it were me I would miniaturize the Mazda.   So, why not. Get a new
Renasis, Take it apart, scan it 3D, shrink it into some popular sizes,
Adjust your size selections to fit popular AN sizes everywhere. Give the
disk to one's favorite CNC practitioner, make every part in the same

metals

and coatings.I ran this by my CNC guy and got a big grin and a yes. So

what

am i missing? Sell them complete thru the propeller unassembled. And

Paul,

have you got those part scans ready yet??? Can I download here??? Do you
take VISA???   :^ )))  This will get rotary moving.....

Dirk Hecking,
Building from scratch is a heck of a job, but modifying some components is
doable - what about doing a 10A, 12A and 13B using the best of the
components available, off the shelf, and making others in our own cottage
industry development.
This is something akin to what I'm working on with Butch!
However it would need a quality all aluminium housing, that can be used for
all models - just thinner rotors and rotor housings, shorter e-shafts etc.
It's my belief that there is that talent is in the group it just has to be
co-ordinated
