Paul,
I am considering building a Super Pulsar 100 and would like to install a
rotary engine.  Pulsar recommends the engine to be 100-125 hp.  Which
rotary engine and year would get me close to 125 hp after it was
converted to use in a aircraft.

Thanks,

Bill Kersey

I suspect a Mazda Rotary is too heavy for that airplane.
Unfortunately I don't know of any rotaries for sale today
that would be the right weight for that airplane.
There are some but they are out of production.
Now I could be wrong.

hi  Bill,     by the time you can get it ready for the engine there should
be mazda single rotor engines available. there are several of us working on
the problems.  Actually Atkins will build you one now and so will Hurley in
England.  wyo. walt.

I think Alturair is building some also.

The Atkins one rotor Mazda is also very heavy for the HP. You would be better off
with a rotax or even a Cont. O-200. Fire wall forward a Mazda one rotor would
be about 250 pounds. An O-200 would weigh about 200 pounds as no liquid
cooling system would be required.

I know the guys at Alturair very very well. They
have been promising that for seven years. I would not hold my breath.
I can't even get them to sell aluminum end housings for the Mazda.
