This site was mentioned on rec.aviation.homebuilt a while back... I'm
wondering what the rotary engine specialists here think of it. Is it
worth spending the money to buy a set of their modified rotors?

How about their LongLife tip seals?

As I recall there is one guy in Sweden using this system. No negative
feed back from him so far. I would be concerned however as it is
not two cycle oil. The oil from the sump gums things up pretty
bad when it is burned.
