Don't know if anyone has commented on
this already Pete, but yes, the single rotor does have torque reversals.
Don't know how much of a problem this
will be but the torque signature (IGNORE RPM FOR THIS COMPARISON, it doesn't
matter) will be the same as the three cylinder piston engine. Raven had
a challenging time developing a redrive for the Suzi/Geo 3 cyl. engine if
that is any clue.

If the two rotor is similar to a 4 cylinder 4 stroke piston engine, wouldn't
a one rotor be similar to a 2 cylinder 4 stroke engine? Lamar has published
the plots many times showing no torque reversals for a two rotor but very
strong torque reversals for a one rotor.
