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.  An=
d

I recently ordered a Sohn oil adapter for my car from them and it came righ=
t

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?
