Bill,
So do you have an estimate on when these might be
available and at what price?
On a somewhat related note, anyone have any
experience with any aftermarket aluminum end/intermediate housings? I'd love to
build an all aluminum P-Port engine. The first rotary airplane I ever saw was
the original Powersport RV-3 that Alan Tolle built. That engine was all aluminum
and the airplane was so nice and light it was a rocket ship. Sign me
up!

Kelly,
Not to butt in but I am working with one of the original PowerSport guys
and we are going to work out the layouts so we can have the P-ports done CNC.
These P-ports are properly sealed, using o-rings, no goo, not welded to the
internal steel. Everett Hatch and Steve Beckham work this out years ago and they
don't leak. We plan to change just slightly from the original design putting the
butterfly outside of the port, but still at the housing face to allow good
throttle response. This needs to be available to the guys running in aircraft.
We want to make a safe and robust system.
