Hughes" To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" Bill I've asked the Cozy Girls about future availability and didn't like the answer. My impression is that gearbox may not be available anytime soon if ever. I hope I'm wrong. I would like to purchase a spare shaft with the larger pin and a couple of sets of the rubber dampers. But?? Since they monitor this list maybe they will provide an update on future availability.

Is he still manufacturing new EC-3/EM-3s? I know he farmed out the PSRU production to the Cozy Girls, but I have not heard that they have manufactured any for sale? It seems that flying rotaries may be going downhill faster than Mazda seems to be! If not, some of these manufacturers need to step up and say something to define their future. Otherwise some of their potential customers are going to take a walk.

Tracy still supports those products, just does not produce new ones anymore (at this time) Ed Edward L.

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.=20 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? -- James -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub:=20 http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html ----- No virus found in this message.
