Hi guys,
Sorry to inject a newbie question into this fascinating discussion, but I am
building a single place gyro and wish to power it with a single-rotor
Renesis.  The airframe is designed for a Rotax 503, and in this
configuration will accommodate a 66" prop.  Does anyone know where I can
find drawings of the Renesis engine, so that I can work out the geometry of
the engine mount and redrive offset in order to swing a 68" prop?  Also, any
info re: CG of the Renesis would be helpful.

Duncan,

Nice place to live Devenport!

Are you sure this is doable? Isn't the Rotax 503 something below half
the weight of a 6.5B (a single rotor based on a mzda). I would have
thought you would need to go for a Diamond rotary to be in the right
weight category?
