In Sweden there are some guys that just tested a "6B" (half 13B)in a dyno. This is what they got:
 
70,5 hp at 5700rpm
95 Nm at 4200 rpm
 
65 kg ex starter.
 
They will produce and sell the special parts needed to build one. Not shore when the parts are ready to ship.

That's interesting.  I'm assuming that was standard intake porting to have peak HP at such a low rpm.   A bit more rpm, and power would put it in the one HP per two pound ballpark with real aviation engines.  Unfortunately, the single rotor does suffer a power to weight disadvantage compared to a two rotor.
