My name is Richard Sohn, I am new on the list.
I am flying a modified AVID HEAVY HAULER with a
100hp SOOB(there is no affordable rotary in that class).
My solution is to build my own one-rotor, which I
am doing right now.
The engine has 5hrs on the test stand. I am in the
process of adding the peripheral port now and refinement modifications.
The plans are to fly the engine in the AVID in a
year.

Welcome Richard. I'm REALLY glad to see
you here, since I have a keen interest in single rotor engines
myself. I've always thought they would make a perfect engine for that
100 HP class of planes, and have recently decided that my next plane would
be powered by a single rotor engine, or maybe two in a push/pull twin type
design.
I'd love to hear any details you can share, such as weight,
power, etc. Is that a Rotax gearbox? Man, why didn't I think of
that. It just looks fantastic. Aren't you located near Defuniak
Springs? I'm in Navarre, and would love to see the engine
sometime.
Cheers,
Rusty
