Steve, here is one of your later Power Sport p-port engines in a Velocity.
The pilot went 205 MPH in the 500 mile 2007 Dayton Ohio to OSH air race
in a four place Velocity aircraft. The pilot said if he had known about
the Everette
Hatch $1000 dollar memorial prize for averaging over 220 MPH in a air race
with a rotary
engine he could have gone 220 MPH. He burned 12 gallons an hour which is
not much
for any 215 HP aircraft engine. That is 18 MPG. Don't let anybody tell you
P-ports
burn more gas :)

BTW the prize money is still in the bank.

.> If the new Power Sport is not out of biz they sure are dormant.
Raytech of course I am sure is still in biz.

You might find out who owns it by going to www.happyhobby.com

Thanks Paul.  Is his estate selling the Velocity?...did the aircraft sell?
Just curious to see if so who purchased to keep track of it.

I have no idea. I lost track of who owns it now.
