ATTENTION! The rotary will accelerate with the auto transmission flex plate
to destructive RPM's faster than you can blink your eye.

Try 13,000 RPM. Resist the temptation to start it up for
the first time without the PSRU AND a prop. There could be something wrong
in the intake/EFI/ECU  system. The prop acts like a rev limiter.

The centrifugal load on the parts is Mass times Velocity SQUARED !!!! 

If the flex plate doesn't EXPLOSIVELY come apart the rotor mass could fail 
the rotor bearings with or with out oil pressure. The apex seals could 
jam in the exhaust port.
