Hi, Paul....I was surfing the internet and came accross this Russian
VAZ-426 engine that the site said "was approved for aero use on March 30,
1998". Cost approximately $20,000.00 U.S. dollars.
Might you have ever seen one, or know of a flying example?  Just curious.

Yes we know about them. This may be the three rotor version.
Two of them are used to power this amphibian in Russia.
I took this picture at Sun & Fun last year.

There are more rotary powered aircraft enterprises than I was aware of. I
only knew of Powersport and Mistral.  I hope we will see many more in the
not-too-distant future.  Thanks.  Paul Conner
