Atkins has a single rotor engine that may be appropriate for the Europa.
---From their Aviation FAQ:
> 1) How much does it weigh? 135 lb. / 100 hp (2-00)
> 2) How much does it cost? 6000.00 carb. version
> 3) Is there a PSRU available? In the works
I note that for the two rotor version there is a large difference between
dry and wet weight, so I don't know how high the wet weight will be for the
single rotor.
