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.

BTW Ken I got the rotor housings. I have the material. Work will start soon.
