Here is the answer to my Revmaster query.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr Turrell,
Thank you for your interest in our R-2300 aircraft power plant. We just checked the Aero Vee website for their current pricing and are surprised to see the engine kit is now selling for $6995. I believe that earlier this year it was $6200. Revmaster has been in the VW automotive and aircraft business since 1959 and 90% of the engine components in the R-2300 are manufactured by our own company. The AeroVee people must rely on auto parts from the automotive market for their suppliers. Our $7200 price is an introductory price for the new R-2300 model established at the beginning of this year and will be increased soon.
The early shipments of R-2300 engines have gone go many different types of air frames and delivered around the world. We have orders for Sonex installations and we know of several R-2100 installations in Sonex.
Is the Onex engine mount the same as the original Sonex? The attach points were the same as our R-2100, R-2200 and the R-2300 so there is a good chance the Onex attach points are the same.
Any more questions, please let me know

Next question is how much of an increase.
