I AM THINKING OF INSTALLING A ROTARY IN A ZODIAC 601, CAN YOU SEND 
ME ANY INFO. TO HELP ME MAKE UP MY MIND, IF THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO?

I have added you to the list John. What size engine is the ZODIAC 601 designed
for. I ask as the rotary engine is a bit heavy for airplanes requiring
only about 100 HP. For a 180 HP Mazda 13B two rotor firewall forward weight would
be around 300 pounds. Most 100 HP engines are around 200 pounds.
