Hi David,
The bottom line is you can spend considerably more
money, gain 20 lbs right up on the nose (tail in you case, where you probably do
not want it) , not have the cheapness of standard Ford transmission parts
to lower any repair (unlikely) cost and still not end up with any
difference that the aircraft will notice. (other than the lighter
weight of the RWS PSRU).
Now, I personally believe the Powersport looks very
nice and it appears to be a well engineered piece of gear box. But, while
it will make your engine installation heavier, it will make your pocket book
lighter (but the one won't offset the other {:>).
From my viewpoint, I can get both an good
rebuilt engine AND a RWS PSRU for less money . But, this all just my
personal opinion.
Ed

Hi David,
Didn't recognize the name of that company but after going to the website
I see it is just another name used by Atkins Rotary. The redrive is a
nice one (same one developed by Powersport) but about 20 pounds heavier
and more than twice the cost of RWS. Last time I checked it
was $6500.00.

Any comments why
I would want to pay double for American Rotary Engine's over RWS for a 13B
turbo? This is going to be an installation that I am putting into my Cozy
MK-IV playing off what John Slade has done in his Cozy.
