Sounds like a lot of parts that would give = somebody a good=20 start on a two rotor.

Greetings,
 
After = fiddling with my=20 stock housing version of the single rotor for almost 3 years now, I'm = afraid=20 that I just don't see any future in using it as a replacement for a=20 912S.   Even with the elusive aluminum side housings, it=20 would be 35 lbs heavier, and still have to contend with all the = pulse=20 reversal issues, and rough idle problems that occur with any single = chamber=20 engine.  Bottom line, I'm done spending time and money on the = single rotor=20 project, and I'll be selling the single rotor engine, or just the = shafts=20 (I have two).  How it gets sold really depends on whether anyone = else is=20 interested in buying the assembled engine or=20 not.  
 
Aside from=20 the single rotor engine itself, I also have an EC2 and EM2 (small = LCD) with all the latest updates, along with the Autoflight = redrive that=20 will fit any 13B.  The drive is rated for 160HP, and 6000 = rpm, and=20 is about a 2.5 ratio.  It seems well built, and is quite a bit = lighter=20 than the Tracy's drive.  It is offset such that the prop can = be=20 higher, or lower than the E-shaft, by a few inches, which could be = really=20 handy in some installations.  I also have about 2 complete = engines worth=20 of usable parts, so I believe I have enough stuff for a = complete 2 rotor, 160 HP engine.
