Any thoughts on a low cost light weight PSRU that will work with a single
rotor engine?

The only way your going to get it down to that is if you
make it yourself. However you might want to take a look
at a VW bus axle reduction unit.

Hi Paul,
IIRC, that early VW bus unit ratio was about  0.7, not really what we
want.
I saw one fitted to an Alum. Buick  V8 about 20 years ago and installed
in a Piper Pawnee.
It may have been a glider tug; I think it was the subject of an
accident investigation though the cause was not failure of the
powerplant.
I have a vague notion it was fuel starvation. .... not surprised :)
