I had a great experience contacting Joe as well. He is very interested in where his Revmaster engines go once they leave the original purchaser's hands. I asked if he had a manual for the enging and, during the Thanksgiving Holiday season he had it to me in 2 days. He helped with several other issues over the net, too. Great guy with excellent customer service.

Joe Horvath and his wife Roberta have been very helpful to me as I rebuilt a R2100D I had acquired. So much so, that I decided to pay them a visit over the holidays while I was in the Hesperia area. Joe showed me the various flavors of the R3000 under development - wet sump/dry sump, geared/direct drive, water/air cooled, and single/dual cam. Normally aspirated, the engine is 110 hp but Joe has a turbo'd version of the engine that he ran in a VW that turned 150 mph in quarter mile and develops 500+ hp. I'm not technical guy but the R3000 really seems to be a versatile engine that is the product of Joe's deep technical knowledge, vast expertise, and solid engine design. He's still considering the best way to take it to market (i.e. as a kit, as part of a plane package, etc) but from my perspective, it's going to interesting to follow its development. Scott Bailey
