Hi Guys
I just ordered my PSRU last week at AirVenture2004 from Mistral. As some of you know, I am building a Lancair IV-P with a 20B. I already have a 4-blade MT hydraulic propeller, so wanted a PSRU that had that capability and right hand rotation. The Mistral had that. The gearbox also comes with a propeller governor drive pad, plus a second drive pad. In addition, there are provisions to be able to install a belt driven alternator/generator. The box is designed for a 300hp continuous rating with a good TBO. It will bolt directly to a 13B or 20B engine. Mistral currently has a ongoing FAA certification effort for a rotary engine with this gearbox in Florida. The reason that I'm telling you all this is that the more orders Mistral gets, the earlier they will start another production run. My estimated delivery date is March of 05, which is not unreasonable based on my building progress, but I would feel really like to ensure that that date is very solid. It will be, if there are some more orders.
