For those who don't want to get their hands dirty overhauling their own, engine builder Bruce Turrentine (who supplied the engine currently flying in our RV-4 and for our "in process" RV-8) will build RENESIS rotaries in various configurations.

Contact Bruce directly at the address/phone number/email provided above for price quotes. PHONE in the best way to reach Bruce. (He no longer has a web site)

Below are some samples of Bruce's work. The gold engine belongs to Col. "Sandy" McNabb, USAF (expended). Scroll down for more pictures. (Photos courtesy of Sandy).

Here is another of a sample of Bruce's work - this is a turbo engine, built for use on an airboat. (Photo courtesy of Bruce Turrentine)

** Lapped & Polished Iron Housings

* Based on availability

** Lapped housing quality control limits the amount of material removed from factory surface to .003. Housings requiring more than .003 machining are rejected. It is my opinion that lapped housings are very cost effective and equally dependable as new units.
