Yes Kelly, though those are mine and I have been waiting for them a very long time... I have been very happy working with Kyle,  Unfortunately the billets out of out of down under caused a major delay! I am currently engaged in in pack out here in the Virgin islanis the Virgin Islands to our house in crystal beach Florida. More than happy to share my pictures and ideas with anyone interested. -jw

James,
      Have been watching Kyle Mohan build two red alloy 13B's for some time and wonder if these are your engines ?..........I have been talking to Kyle about the possibility of having an "Aircraft Specific Alloy Front Side Housing"
made for the three rotor 20B engine with the mounting points built into it for the Lycoming O/IO-540 series of engines which are popular power plants in several high end amatuer built models and also in the sport class racing 
at Reno Nevada.........The idea being to make these engines a virtual "Bolt In" utilizing the stock Lycoming engine mount..........Photo's are a Lycoming mount ring attached to a 540 crankcase and a Mazda front cover mounted 
on the 540 crank centerline...........The idea is to make a 20B (Or 13B) front side housing incorporating 540 mount points (I call them "Ears")........... 
    Would love to hear more about your project and also know the Rotary group would also like to hear more about it.........
Best Regards,
Kelly Troyer
