I have corresponded with the gentleman selling the engine. Was thinking about marrying up the 20B with the Barracuda that is also listed for sale on Barnstormers. Almost 100% decided against it though.
Although I havent ruled out just buying it to put into my Glasair (whenever that is done...) but I dont need the extra weight of a 3rd rotor and Turbo.
"Completely rebuilt and reworked for aviation use by a professional shop in NC for the previous owner.
He could not sell his Lancair with the rotary in it, so removed it for a lycoming to facilitate selling.
I bought it for him with big plans and never touched it - kept covered in my garage. Lot of custom work as can be seen.
I remember less than 100hrs on the Lancair.
No known issues."

The announcement looks familiar to one posted around Feb/Mar of this year... I remember talking with the guy (don't remember his name). He's a retired aerospace engineer (in his 70s - worked for Boeing). If it's the same guy, he was looking at getting in the air (going Lycoming) and stop fiddling around with the engine. Talked a couple of hrs about the project, unfortunately, I didn't have the $$ at the time to make an offer. Seemed like a sharp guy, on point with every question asked about the engine.
Good luck!

There is a 20B with turbo for sale on barnstormers. Does anyone know any of the history of the engine?
What plane was it on and did it fly? Why was it removed? How long has it sat?
