Ever the skeptic, am I.

Isn't this the same guy - Rodolpho Alanso - that Rusty
bought from?  How come he still has zero ('0') reviews?

Hi Dale,
 
Yes, this is the same guy I bought the single rotor from, and he was awesome to deal with, however, he knows exactly nothing about how to sell things on Ebay :-)  In fact, I just sent him a message with some suggestions to make his current auction a bit less confusing. 
 
Anyway, being new, he put one engine up for auction, but listed a bunch of others in the description.  This of course is a pretty big ebay no-no, but he didn't know any better.  The engine I bought was listed in the description, and was not an actual ebay auction.   If I could leave him feedback, it would be the best possible.
 
I also almost bought one of the new Renesis engines, even though I have absolutely no need for one.  Rudy was the chief engineer for a company that was doing alternate fuel research on rotary engines, and they have since sold the technology that they developed.  As part of the agreement, he can't really discuss what they were testing, but suffice it to say that these engines were purchased from Mazda, for their research program.  Now, the engines are sitting in the warehouse next to the one they were using, since they sold the warehouse too.  Heck, they had a dyno for sale at one time.  Who's the comedian that says "Saaaave uuuup" :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty (one post in a row without picking on anyway- pretty much my limit)
