Hey guys here comes your dream 55 HP one rotor motor.
Can a two rotor be far behind? I am so happy to see they
have come around to selling this great little engine.
Thank you Chris Dries.

"Since launching our first line of products, the AE50R series, our 50 horsepower
rotary engine product,has built a successful track record, with more than 700
installations in motor gliders and cam copters of leading OEMs. Our rotary
engines are small, lightweight, and have an outstanding low vibration.

Their reliability and adaptability enabled the development of a larger, stronger
rotary engine, the IAE75R, which will soon be available."

Dear Sir or Madam,

Try a longer intake manifold.

Chris,

Have  you contacted Austro for a _price_ on the engine (+PSRU?)?  I
surfed around their site using Bable Fish translation but found no
pricing data.  Apparently you have to ask Sales for a quote.  The weight
looks good and their story of test cell runs on all the engines sounds
good.

BTW, their graph of KW vs. RPM is goofy.  If the KW(HP) is circa 40.2 KW
at 7200, and the torque is still going up like it shows, there is no way
the KW(HP) gets truncated to a flat limit from 7200 to 7800 rpm.  It
must continue to go up also.
