Rusty,
 
you are right on!
 
No redrive (I emailed them, and there is nothing on the board either), price according to the other list around 6K!! that buys you a new Renesis-long-block and then some.
They also R&D on a 150 cc- 15Hp rotary.....
 
As you said, Good Luck, but I want to see it!
 
There is one interesting detail.
MOst other Small Rotaries only used Air/Charge-cooling. These guys Charge-cool the rotor, but liquid-cool the housing(s).

IF they really come online, this would be the right engine for ultralights!
 
Hi Thomas,
 
Thanks for the link.  I just filed it in the "believe it when it happens" category.  They certainly do look nice, but it appears to be a really premature web page.  Note that there is no mention of what they even expect the engines to be used for.  As far as I can tell, they don't have any sort of redrive, so I doubt they have the airplane market in mind.  You also have to expect that the price will be way up there like it is with other folks who try to make these. 
 
All that being said, I just can't help but root for success for these folks, and I'll watch their page.  Again, thanks for the link.
 
Cheers,
Rusty (still dreaming of a twin with single rotor engines, and good single engine performance)
