Thanks for the update Chrissi and Randi. Ya'll are a class act.
I have re-drive, but i hate not having a source and my faith in you is significant.
Uh, not to distract you from the production runs, but how is ya'lls build progressing?
All the best,
Chris Barber

Mazdafarians,
Tracy passed the torch to us on the redrives last year. We are gathering information and documentation.
Let's just say this is no minor undertaking.
We have not stepped up to offer them because we do not push products we cannot give a firm commitment
on supply and delivery. In the case of our intake manifolds we had to build prototype(s) and get a feel for the demand.
The market for the redrives is a very small one with a huge investment in components that we will have to lay out
a sizable sum of cash for inventory that will it on our shelves.
It has never been our practice to take money up front or deposits even on our engine mounts
and mounting system parts but this may be the exception.
Stay tuned.
Regards, Chrissi & Randi CG Products.

Bill, my understanding is that Tracy has stopped production on the EC/EM
series and the Gearbox. He will continue to support the ones out in the
field, but no longer producing them.
Hope the Cozy Girls to continue the gear box production. The electronics
are somewhat easier to get around - I flew with a HALTECH F3 fuel injection
system for years - for example.
But I understand the rotary rebuild/parts will still continue to be
available.
Well, without Mazda producing the rotary engine, I think that in itself will
considerably dampening the rotary interest. I was eagerly awaiting the
16X - but alas.

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?
