Dan et al If you don't get CONTACT#85 magazine you would have missed the story of Pat Panzerra getting a new R3000 'donated' to put and use in their project 601XL. (CONTACT #80 had the full story on this engine) I sent Pat an email asking about the status of the R-3000, whether it was still in Beta testing and that was part of the deal or if the R-3000 was available to all. (Since it fits a VW engine mount Zenith donated an engine mount which is the 'clue' that this is still in Beta testing) No reply yet. I suspect that Revmaster is looking for a 'client' base (Zenith?) big enough to support mass production to pay the development costs and next batch production as these costs must be large and need to be dealt with. The R-3000 at $10,000 FWF, looks like another really good choice for the KR2S alongside the Corvair but at 2x the price. Still... way under a Jab, turbo Rotax , or new 0-200 - and it appears less complicated. Maybe Pat will comment to the KR net. Gary
