Rusty NO,
you CANNOT DO THAT!! This will never work! Don't put your Single-Rotor in the Sonex! This one will only take Jabiru or VW! The Rotary will NEVER WORK!
 
Guys, please help me holding him back!!!
 
Thomas J, :) 
 
LOL!  I see someone remembers how this works :-)
 
Seriously, the Sonex boys don't like to see unapproved engines, and it's too soon to consider the single rotor until I find out the final weight, and what the weight can be reduced to.  I also need to see how it behaves with the RD-1C as far as torque reversals, and such.  In other words, I'll sort all this out with the Kolb, while the Sonex is being built.   At the moment, I've really got to get moving on the Kolb, since the Sonex kit is now coming about mid Dec, rather than the end of Jan. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (can't wait to bolt that Jabiru 3300 on my Sonex)
