Kelly,
 I am working with Steve to bring back several of the PS items. At least that is both of our hope. There are several things going on that I can't talk about but I hope we can offer some things soon. Right now I am forced to do things remotely working from home. There are a bunch of things that the original Power sport did that need to be revived. They had a sale worthy system when Everett was tragically killed in an aerobatics accident. The PSRU is also a great one that they developed over a decade of hard work. They did a concept system for NASA they called the "superlite" while costly it was spectacular. A 165 pound FIRE WALL FORWARD P-port two rotor producing 200 HP. Yes I meant fire wall forward including the heat exchangers. This engine used a pendrolus damper and a straight cut planetary, mechanical fuel injection, and would idle at 1000 RPM. A great job and a work of art to look at! The reason the company didn't take off right then was the loss of Everett was such a blow that Steve just couldn't continue at that time and he sold out to the current company. They had been working together at that time for over 20 years.
 I will be the first to tell you that I am just a latecomer to this party, but I hope to be able to save some of these things from the old drawings and get them out there. I am a mechanical engineer and one of the things I have always been concerned with is the cut and try stuff going on out there. Steve and I both have been bothered by some of the band-aids used to make things fit or make power. The goal is to produce some properly engineered parts that you can EXPECT to run through many heat cycles and many hours of trouble free flight time. I'll keep you posted about progress.
