Tracy ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Fuess Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 11:14 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] I was wondering if Tracy or someone could give a hint of what someone would have to give Bruce Turrentine for a Renesis engine conversion for aircraft service. As was noted earlier, E-bay has a Renesis engine on bid, currently at a little over $4k. My impression is that this is a little steep, but I am not sure where I got that impression from. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=247535305 1&category=33615&sspagename=WDVW I am a ways from needing an engine, but would like to know what I am getting into.
