I was delighted to discover your newsletter. I have been wracking my
brain trying to get more info on the RotaMax engine and the status of
the company. Please subscribe me to your list. (Bad grammar I know but I
needed to use the word subscribe)

Apparently they are not shipping engines now.
There was a crash last September and the RotaMax corp is waiting
for the final NTSB report. I don't know why they are waiting.
Perhaps some kind of law suit is pending.
The engine had some sort of RPM issues. I think
a single rotor Mazda is closer to being available from
