 Paul,
 I would evaluate the 1975 to 1977 Suzuki rotary for this type of
project.  You could build it as a single rotor for the 60 HP
 crowd and as a twin rotor for the 100 to 120 HP requirement.
This was a really sweet engine of about 60 HP from the factory!
 There is a company selling brand new (in the original crates)
 engines for $850 - this was discussed on this List about 4 months
 ago.  If my airplane funding wasn't being swallowed up by my RV-4
 project I would buy one of these for my MiniMax, even if hooking
 up a redrive would probably prove problematic.

Paul,
 Is the above engine a good bet in two rotor form for my as yet, undelivered
DreamWings "Valkyrie". I'm holding out for the speed wing kit and would also
like to see the aerobatic results. Don't necessarily want to have the first one
on the block.

Yours Terry Wilson

This engine will take a lot of adapting. If you are good at mechanical
engineering go for it. To make a two rotor out of it would take $$$$$$$
