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.

Paul, and whomevever else is listening,
A little off-topic, but...After reading this newsletter for more than
six months, I've concluded that I would rather build my airframe
around my powerplant (bulletproof, turbo-compounded rotary of course)
as opposed to choosing my engine for the airframe.
I was initially intent on a Super Pulsar 100 as well...Anyone have
recommendations for an airframe with similar appearance and
performance, albeit a bit heavier to handle the noted above rotary?
Can you remind me of the design goals for the turbo-compound? 250 HP? .39 BFSC?
Thanks,
Michael

I think a Lancair Legacy is similar but scaled up a bit.
