Last night I came across a company that seems to have developed a more
efficient ignitor and fuel injector.  Does anyone have experience with this
company.  They also claim use of ethanol and diesel in the rotary and other
engines. They seem to be doing some work with the army on drones as well.

Those are glow plugs and I suspect they are spiking the fuel with
nitromethane just like your model airplane engine fuel :)
It is/was called Glo Fuel as in "glow plug fuel". In my younger days
I was in the DC-RC club with doctor Walter Good the father of the
UAV. Nitromethane is too expensive for large scale use.
Glow plugs are standard equipment used for starting almost all diesels.

Be careful. A guy on another rotary list said he sent them $200 some
time ago and has not received anything.

Thanks for the heads up Perry.  The cataylist material caught my attention.
At this point in the engine project I am still assembling my shopping list
for when I have to fly the C-150 from south Florida to the West Coast in
autumn. I am still looking for an inexpensive stable for it as well if
anyone has a suggestion.  I obviously have a long commute to come fly it:)
