Hi=20 Bob,
 
It's always a=20 good sign when one of these engines actually makes it into a flying=20 aircraft.  With any luck, they'll proceed with their 2 rotor plans, = and get=20 one of those on the market as well.  I've been saying that the = sport pilot=20 market is dying for a better  80-100 HP engine choice, so maybe = this will=20 be it. 
 
Since they=20 don't have an oil system, how are they cooling the rotors?  Would = this be=20 what I've seen referred to as "charge cooling"?  As with all these = new=20 engines, it will be good to start seeing some unbiased user=20 reports.
 
Cheers,
