   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.

   This is nothing new.  On their website you can see a partial of the
   mfg plate on the other
   side of the rotor housing.  This is the single rotor Diamond Engine,
   ex Norton, ex Mid-something or other.
