Mistral 3 rotor to be at OSH
 
As a group FYI, Mistral will be showing the new 3 rotor NA (300 HP) engine at Oshkosh. I've seen some pictures and the engine really looks super. They will probably be showing specs of their Spark-Ignition-Heavy-Fuel engine as well. I hope that one really works out as it would make a excellent RV-10 engine in the 3 rotor version. This group is really working to make a rotary aircraft engine a reality.

I saw that yesterday on their website too, Bill! They also list the turbo'd version of the three rotor at 360hp!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

From what I have heard from the Rotary mavens making less than 360 with the turbo version would probably be harder. BTW They are listing the weight at 365 pounds with the PSRU but without rads. That is pretty light.
