I believe that Laura Crook took on the running of the RWS website and 
merchandizing of the products. I know that Richard Sohn markets his oil 
adapter through Laura.

Hi Guys,

I am new to the list.  I am new to airplane building but a long time RX7 
owner and rotor head.  My first aircraft project is a Onex - a single rotor 
motor 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 project.

Somebody in my local EAA chapter who is building a Cozy with an RX8 motor 
told me that Tracy is retired and RDs and ECs are no longer available?  All 
rumor 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 site still shows all this stuff for sale like it's still available.  And 
I recently 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 
years, am I going to have to roll my own like you early rotary guys were 
doing twenty years ago?
