I want a 50 HP, 100 lb Wankel for my ultralight -- it won't arrive until the rumors are killed).

Keith,

That kart engine that was mentioned of few months back was close to what you are looking for.  I think it's rated at 48hp...

That one is close, but no kewpie.  41HP at 7800 RPM, so it would replace
a Rotax 377 or 447.  A three-rotor would do the job though, and the bare
2-rotor is only about 35 lbs so a three-rotor would weigh about 50 lbs.

I'm waiting to hear back from their American tech rep about pricing and
availability.  Going by the German site, the engine is over $5,000,
about a thousand more than the 447 and even more than the 50HP 503.

Of course, that's a lot cheaper than having a dead-stick over the wrong
terrain!
