Dear Madam/Sir,  request any info on 100-120 hp rotary.200lbs approx
FWF, and please send me your Email newsletter

We are not quite down to that weight. Royce Wise is working on
some low cost two piece end aluminum end housings that potentially
could get the weight of a peripheral port two rotor with PSRU down
to that weight. In that case you would have 200 to 240 HP normally
aspirated. A one rotor version would be in the 100 to 120 HP
range and be well under 200 pounds with PSRU.

Hi Paul,thanks for your prompt reply.Could you explain a little more
about the single rotor engine; is it a cut down 13B, or a different
engine? 

Cut down two rotor engine.

I have seen a photo of a single rotor motor but no detail. Can
you give me a contact email for Royce Wise?  I've played around with
engines and hotrods for years and can do most mods and jobs but I have
no experience with rotaries. I retired last year and started building
the airplane last Nov and its coming along fine. Some guys put Subarus
in Europas, but at 300lbs all up it makes the airplane a bit of a dog.
I've looked at other piston engines,Rotax,Jabiru etc but the rotary has
more appeal.I know the Everett Hatch story, and Powersport etc but I
felt that they priced themselves out of the market, albeit good value
for money.What FWF weight do you currently work on for your twin rotor application?
Best Regards,Dave McC

The twin rotors are about 320 pounds firewall forward.
