Virgil,

Here are the URL's to pages with info on the small rotary engines that
I've found so far:

Wankel LCR-407SGti (37hp,77 lbs dry w/ psru)
http://www.wankel-rotary.com/

Mid-West GAE50R (47hp, 68 lbs dry w/ psru)
http://www.avnet.co.uk/midwestengines/
http://www.webpages.com/amrotary/

I haven't heard from anyone who's flying or building with either of
them yet, so if you find any further information than these pages have
please forward it on to me.  There's another small rotary that puts
out 52hp @ 8000 rpm (I'm guessing maybe 35-40 hp @ 6000 rpm?) and goes
by the model "UEL AR-80-1010".  I've only found a single reference to
at:
http://www.weizmann.ac.il/consolar/silvaro/450Sav.html

The guy listed as the contact on this page said he'll check and find
out who to contact to get more info for me. At this point I don't even
know who that manufacturer is, but I'll pass on whatever I find out.

Sounds very much like a derivative of the 440 Savauro engine. Could be
interesting since it was not clear, at least to me, wether Savauro was still
in business.
