Dwayne,
    I have no idea what the going price of these e= ngines are at present.........When I
first became interested several years ago the 190 hp two rotor was $30= ,000+ which
was way beyound my means.............After nagging Mistral for a perio= d of time they
agreed to sell me one of their "Backplates" (with "Dynafocal" mount ea= rs,waterpump
and gearing for an auxillary drive for a vacuum or hydralic pump) when= they had a
parts run for their complete engines..........I waited over two years = for the Backplate
and waterpump (had no need for the aux drive) which reduced the cost s= ignificantly
but still was not cheap..........The parts are beautiful as they were = built to be certified
even for their experimental engines...........I already had a "Dynafoc= al" Lyc 0-360
mount built which incorporated the nose wheel strut of my "Dyke D= elta" project
and I did not want build another mount (All Welded) plus I really like= d the fact that
there would be no mount tubes forward of the "Dynafocal" ring to inter= fere with
the 13B intake or exhaust.........
   I do not know how many many complete engines  or par= ts were sold........Steve
Thomas of this forum has complete "Mistral" 13B in his Glasair...= ........I have a
backplate and Chris Barber has their intake manifold on his Velocity..= ........
  Can I justify the cost..........Probably not............I just = knew what I wanted !!..<:)
