So Rusty,

What was the latest problem with the single development, was it the = torsional reversals. The last I heard was you were going softer with the = damper=20 material - did that work out?

George (down under)

Well, hang in there Rusty, once bitten by the = rotary bug=20 its almost always a life-time infection.

You're right about this Ed. I've = still got=20 lots of ideas I want to try, and I'm still scheming ways to use the = two rotor=20 engine in an LSA compliant aircraft. The latest thought is = an RV-9=20 limited to 1320 lbs=20 = gross...

For=20 now, I might sell the single rotor shafts and balance weights, but I'm = not=20 going to sell the other engine stuff just yet. I need a = winter=20 project, so I'm going to bring the test stand home, and build a = nice=20 160HP two rotor engine for the stand.

I=20 guarantee it won't be THIS scary: http://www.radrotary.com/peroxide_rotorcraft.wmv = (note camera man running for his life). BTW, I have no idea who = any of=20 these people are.
