Paul,

I'm considering using a Rotary Engine on a powered parachute aircraft.
Do you know anyone who has done this?  Wondering best place to buy a new
or used engine for this application?  I see there is a company in Canada
making them.  What do you think of them?

There is an outfit in the UK called Rotron that uses a modified  AIXRO
supercharged rotary go kart engine. Foot launched. So far they were
able to climb over mount Everest. Up around 27,000 feet.

They don't like you to know it is based on the AIXRO Kart Wankel
engine :)

Yours is a trike so you need a one rotor. I don't know of anybody
that has done it yet.
