Bill thanks!
I selected the 12A rotor housing because that size engine suited my
airplane. This airplane was designed around a 65hp Rotax engine.
Your second question, there was no Renesis in 1999 when I started.
Since I am well over retiring age, and I don’t consider the engine
production ready, yet, I do not have that option.
If someone else wants to pick it up, be my guest.

flight
Congratulations,
Richard! A hell of a deal! I had enough of a problem just adapting
the Renesis, I can not imagine trying to build the engine from basically scratch
before installing it!
There should be a
considerable market for an experimental engine in the 100 hp range. Do you
plan to build and sell them?
I am curious why you
selected the smaller 12A instead of the larger 13B engine for your
prototype? And also why not the higher compression Renesis rotor in the
13B?

PRAGMA first flight
First flight of
15min. Running like a charm.
OAT was 80F, water
and oil 187F at climb out and came down to 160 at level
flight.
Next is a thorough
inspection before the next flight.
