Any reason you see that the Wankel could not be used in a helicopter

Gary Dietering has already put a 13b in his Rotorway.   Another article in
the PRA Rotorcraft Mag. indicates there is another guy with a Scorpion 13B

Gary's ship was also used to "black box" the engine throttle and blade

so he could fly the ship remotely.... the project was a try at selling
Rotorway ships as target drones to the military.
