<< The Wankel GmbH as it is now as I recall is charged cooled.
That is a
drawback
 for breathing at high RPM limiting the HP. Therefor the dies
would
 be of limited use if we copied the Mazda, scaled it down and made
it a
P-port.

Their latest stuff has oil cooled rotors, I wouldn't be surprised
if the
little ones were still charge cooled.

Yes. They have so many models it is hard to keep up with what is
what.
One of their marketing problems. IMHO 75 HP does not cut it
in the 100 HP Rotax 912 market.

        You could wipe out the Rotax 2 cycle presence though

The issue is cost. Hard to beat a two stroke for cheap.
