I actually saw one of Atkins single rotor engines, and it was at the shop where they were also working on a belt drive for it. Unfortunately, the last time I tried to talk to Dave about it, all he really wanted to do was tell me how bad Tracy's redrive is, how they're all destined to fail, how he's traveling the country replacing failed drives with his belt drive, and how Tracy's design was stolen from Atkins by one of his ex-employees in the first place. Sorry, I won't deal with anyone who spreads those kind of lies, particularly about someone I respect as much as as I do Tracy. I was absolutely furious when I got off the phone.
