“Museum Quality” 110 Le Rhone Rotary Engine Offered For Sale

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A Le Rhone rotary engine described as “museum quality” has hit the market. The listing states (in part):

This Le RHONE Model 9J 110 hp rotary engine was manufactured December 29, 1917 for the US WW1 war effort. I assume it was made in France but other manufacturers also built this engine. Amongst others this Le Rhone engine powered the Sopwith Camel, the Focker including the triplane and the Vicker. This engine could possibly be rebuilt and be up in the air again. I am not a pilot nor a mechanic, so to me it is a museum piece for my man cave. It is time for someone else to enjoy my engine – wish it could talk – for it has unknown provenance.

I believe it is in excellent shape. Cooling fins are generally fine. It wheels on its stand and the engine turns easily. It stands about 4′ high on the stand and is about 40″ in circumference but only about 18″-24″ wide. It weighs approximately 330 lbs so it would be expensive to ship. I am going to let the buyer arrange shipping, but I will assist as much as I can. Pick up may be the best option. I have moved it easily on it’s stand up a small incline onto a trailer with two strong guys.

The engine is located in Raleigh, NC and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.

A T-28A Trojan project (S/N 51-7703) has hit the market. The aircraft is described as unmodified from the original version, which was “transferred to Mexico as number 31 of 88 aircraft to upgrade it’s Air Force in the 1950s.” The listing states (in part):

The project is nearly complete with the only major items canabolized prior to return to the US being the instrument panels and radios. The flight controls and side panels are intact with associated controls, switches, breakers. lights etc. It just requires a new front and rear plate for the intrument panels and the assocaited intruments. I do have some loose intruments including the fuel gages, MAP, and flap indicator and landing gear indicators from the aircraft as well as the left and right front windshield plastics. The structure is all present and generally sound with good zinc chromating of the interior fuselage, wings and tail surfaces. It is a restoration project with a number of dents some metal gouges from handling and shipping. It also has some corrosion of a few extrusions characterisitic of it’s age. Nothing that isn’t easily replaced and none in the spars or other major structural elements

The project is also said to include two Curtiss Wright R-1300-1B engines, and although both are in need of overhaul, they provide “a great set of parts including all engine accessories” and “much redundancy.”
