Hi Guys,

I am new to the list.  I am new to airplane building but a long time RX7 own=
er and rotor head.  My first aircraft project is a Onex - a single rotor mot=
or with aluminum side housings would be cool, but I will probably stick with=
 the recommended Sonex VW conversion and plan on a two rotor RV as my next p=
roject.

Somebody in my local EAA chapter who is building a Cozy with an RX8 motor to=
ld me that Tracy is retired and RDs and ECs are no longer available?  All ru=
mor and my friend is honest he doesn't know much about rotaries (and has his=
 re-drive and ignition already).  I've been buying parts from RA for years (=
Super Seals, o-ring kits, etc. for auto use) and noticed they moved.  The si=
te still shows all this stuff for sale like it's still available.  And I rec=
ently ordered a Sohn oil adapter for my car from them and it came right away=
.

So what's the scoop?  When I get to my rotary aviation project in a few year=
s, am I going to have to roll my own like you early rotary guys were doing t=
wenty years ago?
