Paul, is anyone working on a one rotor . Suitable for LSA applications
other than Richard.
Anyone contemplating a 16x one rotor.

Clifton,
Originally I had planned a four place a/c with a two rotor to replace a
150hp O-320. I read about single rotors but never paid too much
attention.
As needs and desires have changed, I am now working towards a 120hp
single
rotor p-port and aiming for the weight to match an 0-200 for an extreme
STOL. Hopefully by the time I'm ready for the engine someone will have
done
all the hard (smart guy) work.

I have a single rotor 13B built by the late Lou Ross.  It has his
reduction drive 3.17:1 turning a 68 inch IVO magnum electrically
adjustable
prop.  Custom exhaust with muffler, and Ellison throttle body.  It has
run,
probably 8 hours or so, and by Lou's calculations made around 120 hp at
6000
rpm.  Probably a few months of installation remaining before I attempt to
start it in my Q200.

With a 3.17:1 PSRU it may well indeed produce 120 HP or more. Lou was a
very
good engineer.

I am contemplating using a one rotor with a Kolb MK3 X.  Sounds great,
would
love to hear how you put everything together!!

Clifton and others,
Was hoping to just buy a light weight rotary but no source yet.  So,  I
plan to work on an LSA one rotor starting next summer for our LSA. The
goal is for at least 120hp and under 150 lbs firewall forward.  Will need
all the help I can get!!  :D

Do it right Dan and I'll be a customer.
