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. Or Tracy? Bobby

Ed,
Are they just selling out his old inventory or do you mean that he is no
longer developing new products like going from EC-2 to EC-3? 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.

Welcome, James
Indeed Tracy has stopped production on the electronic and gear box. However, the rotary engine parts are still (at this point) available
through
Real World Solutions. Tracy still supports those products, just does
not produce new ones anymore (at this time)

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?
