   That one is close, but no kewpie.  41HP at 7800 RPM, so it would
   replace
   a Rotax 377 or 447.  A three-rotor would do the job though, and the bare
   2-rotor is only about 35 lbs so a three-rotor would weigh about 50 lbs.

   I'm waiting to hear back from their American tech rep about pricing and
   availability.  Going by the German site, the engine is over $5,000,
   about a thousand more than the 447 and even more than the 50HP 503.

   Of course, that's a lot cheaper than having a dead-stick over the wrong
   terrain!

Keith,

Are you kind of new to the list?

We had a lot of discussion about the little German kart engine fairly
recently (right before Christmas?).  I had said I wanted to make a two
rotor out of it.  It's a single..
