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

Here are some more pics.

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.

The Velocity, N942XX is still shown as 'For Sale' on the Happy Hobby
site (Scott Jones) at http://www.happyhobby.com/velocity_for_sale.htm
for $125K.  Since this site is apparently an active business site, it
probably indicates it is still unsold.  Also, a check of the FAA N
number database shows it still registered to the last owner, Joseph
Schiferl.

Speaking of the new Powersport,  they have a nice looking exhaust system
shown and described at
http://www.powersportaviation.com/powersport_exhaust_system.htm .
Sounds like a "quiet turbine".  Does anyone know the details of the
internals of the muffler?  "Due to numerous requests from the other
rotary engine builders and fliers, Powersport will be offering this
exhaust system as a kit they can configure into their installation."
(Powersport quote)  The quoted price, at the 2005 page update, was $2500.
