You can buy one of these now, Mitch. Well, you might not be able to. A company is making short TBO, air-cooled rotaries to power drones for military customers. Doubt they would want to deal with you and I. I forget the name of the company. Just wonder if it would be possible to use their parts to build a 500hr TBO, air cooled rotary?

This might prove an interesting read:
