Well if Jeff can make them at that price the one rotor Mazda will
be a very competitive engine for a wide range of aircraft
that use the Rotax 912 and 914. A turbo compound version would
be very competitive in the UAV engine market.

I thought it was a good time for an update on my engine.
All major parts are done, and I have started on some installation issues. A
first shot at the engine mount as seen in the pictures. The radiator will be
on the cool side of the engine and the oil cooler will be below. The exhaust
installation has not been decided, yet. Ignition is going to be a CDI box
which I have been using on the test engine, with a dual coil. On the
carburetor, I know that a Mikuni round slide works good, but the lack of
mixture control is making me look around for other options.
So, I am just fiddling along to get it done.
BTW, I could not have it done without going CNC with my milling machine.

end housings and he is making castings.
