Looking at the two sizes of the engine, it takes 1.6 times as much
horsepower to develop 1.18 times as much static thrust! Somehow this does
not compute for me….I always doubt the performance figures in a sales
presentation and when they don’t make sense to me…..???

A friend of mine flies a powered paraglider (PPG). He
attended a flyin last month and saw this:
It's a single rotor liquid cooled rotary and available in
several different displacements. Do a little web surfing and you'll find some
pretty cool videos of guys flying PPGs powered by this.
