Well, there would be ways to deal with liability, but stop production completely?

Why not sell it then? I assume there would be some interested people to restart!

Hi Thomas;
IIRC, there was some discussion (on ACRE?) that the owner of Diamond did
not want the liability / lawsuits
that might be associated with selling the former Midwest (norton)
wankels in North America.
The one-rotor may still be available with some of the Schleicher self
launch gliders.
A Dragonfly (N222TH in http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp ) pilotted by
Rich Goldman, formerly on this list,
did a forced approach as a result of what sounded like an ECU problem.
He may be able to shed more insight
on the Midwest wankel and the engine failure post-mortem.

Cheers
Cary
