That price had me scratching my head too Leon, but I later confirmed that it was correct. Powersport was also going to include an exhaust system at that price but it's still way out of reason. They have recently recanted a bit and agreed to put their buyers in touch with the manufacturer of the controller and let them buy it directly from them. Very kind, especially considering that the buyers already paid for it once. As an aside, I never thought their approach to redundant controllers was any good. They have separate controllers on each rotor and call that redundant. From my perspective, that just doubles the chance of a failure. The EC2 has two separate controllers each of which controll the whole engine. (blowing my own horn mode : ) You have my attention on that RX-8 engine! I would have gone that route in a heartbeat instead of the 20B to power my RV-8. Now I'll have to reconsider what I'm going to do. The 2.85 : 1 redrive project for the RX-8 engine is progressing well and now I have a good reason to accelerate it even more. I had assumed it would be at least a year before this engine was available to us. All the best, Tracy
