One or the other or the irons that has no stationary gear teeth will be the oil return. Unlike the center iron that has the angled return ramp to the sump, the front iron drains through a window at the bottom of the stationary gear. The rear iron has an angled ramp like the center iron. So if the rotor gear faces the rear iron it might work.

Richard Sohn has one running, but I didn't ask which gear he was using.

Unless you make some of this out of aluminum, there is very little weight savings over the two rotor.  Lynn E. Hanover
