Hi Rusty,
The first one is based on a REW. This goes in the RX7 mule with a turbo and will be serially abused and get thrashed to within an inch of it's life. A mate of mine in Melbourne has a turbo single rotor in an under 2L Sports Sedan tells me he's getting 247 kW from a tubo single rotor on 100 octane racing fuel. This might sound a bit insane to some. However, it's about right as most of the really tough 13B turbos in the drag cars up in the 600 - 700 BHP range. One bloke I know in Meelbourne, Grant Williams, is getting 800 on methanol, about the same as Abel Ibarra and others in the US. there are also a couple of guys getting 1000 + BHP out of 3 rotor engines. Sacry stuff! Anyone want to sponsor a Reno Racer???
Back to reality though, with the Renesis, I need to stick it in myown car, see it with my own eyes, and have my own dyno sheets to prove it, particulaly as the Renesis is so new.
Additionally, I really need to do a some serious evaluation of that as well before I let it loose on fliers. To this end, we are currently negotiating with a local manufacturer of an ultralight to try one. We'll try an REW based single rotor first though. I KNOWN they don't break. So stay tuned. Moe coming shortly.
Cheers,
Leon

Good to see you come out of the closet Leon :-) You didn't tell me it
was ultimately going to be for a Renesis though. You might as well go
ahead and pencil me in for one now :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (gotta go make my employer pay me some OT to pay for it)
