There have been reproduction Rotaries mentioned on other threads but I can't find any info on what they are, who is building them, were they successful, and so on.
Does anyone have any info, data, links, prices, firsthand experience?
Thanks in advance.

You may not be aware but, the New Zealand effort is very likely as a result of Peter Jackson's (Lord of the Rings Director) avid interest in WWI aviation. Imagine for a moment what you yourself might do with such resources, so such an organization is not such a surprise result. Of course, you don't dump all of your money into this yourself, you set it up as they have and stand by to harvest the occasional fruit.

Our customers are generally private collectors and museums. We are currently building aircraft and overhauling engines for customers in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the USA.

Not a bad gig eh?
Would love to be pals with Mr. Jackson!
