The issues in the works now are the induction system, which deals with carburetor selection and throttle control. A suitable muffler is in the works. Optimizing fly wheel and spin balancing.
The final end housing design is on the drawing board and need to be proto typed.
I am still planing(hoping) to have the engine ready to go in the airplane some time in the coming winter.
 
When ever you feel comfortable to fly in/out of 2000ft gras, feel free to visit. Just call me before you come.

Thanks for the update, and invite.  I'll probably take you up on that visit sometime around the middle of next month when the mods are done, and hours finished. 
 
Since deciding not to build the Airbike, I've started looking at other options, and one interesting project that keeps surfacing is the single rotor engine.  I'm just not sure I can maintain two rotary projects at one time :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty
