I am actually surprised that there are not more bids yet.
If the C-18 is in good condition it alone is worth it, though they are not supported by Allison/Rolls Royce anymore.
For those who doubt the project go and look at
http://helicycle.com/
This "R22" would be a logic extension of the Helicycle.
For a more "advanced" concept go to
http://www.rinke-aerospace.com/
Although their product is no more available to the public:
They planned a 2-seater with a 250-turbine, up to 5 blades, etc.
Also a good story about a Turbine-Mini-500 there.
I too admire Experimenters who dare to do Rotorcraft (although I don't care for cheap nonsense..). Just in this case it is no good to call it a "Turbine-R22".
