Paul,  Rotamax has dropped their old "aviation" oriented web pages.
Instead, all you get now is a single page with a picture of a rotor on
it and an invitation to e-mail Eric for more info.  I, of course,
don't have any knowledge of what is happening but I would guess that
multiple problems appeared as soon as they tried  aircraft work
loads.  They derated the engine until it was not competitive with a
whole list of recips.including Rotex, Jabiru, VW, Suburu and Suzuki.
What a shame for our movement.       Jerry

Not the first time. Rotaries are harder than they look.

Paul and Jerry,
I would like to know what the primary problem was, I did warn them of
possible wear surface failure without sufficient depth to the Al wear
surface coatings.
Perhaps as Jerry says, maybe the high end work loads took their toll.

So would we all.
