Hello Paul,

I would like to start our by saying "Thank You" for all your time and effort you contribute to the rotary engine community.

I am planning on building an Aerocanard sometime in the next decade (at least I'm honest), and have fallen in love with the fact that I can use a rotary engine as a power plant.  I am quite good mechanically with engines, but have never ventured into the rotary world.
My question is that I would like to get more familiar with the rotary engine.  Would you recommend buying an old junker 13b for tear down and familiarity purposes and then a Renesis for my actual project?  Or should I just go with a Renesis straight away and learn as I build that one up for my aircraft?

Regards,
Franklin

By all means look around for an old 12A as they are sometimes
given away. Practice taking it apart and reasembling it.
