Looking for the rotory equiv of Lycoming IO-360 A1A.

Thinking #B something from the chart on the web site. Can you advise?

also would like recommendations for compatible constant speed prop.

At this point the only thing that seems to work is the MT or Hoffman
electrical props.

No constant speed gear box available.

You have forgotten the vari-prop. http://variprop.com/
Works on standard gearbox.

Not really a variable pitch. Variable twist.

High power to weight ratio experimentals don't really need constant
speed props.

There is a problem is getting the right pitch and twist for
either cruise speed or top speed. Your choice. Ground adjustable
do just fine if they are twisted properly.

Constant speed props are great for getting a heavy airplane off the
ground and climbing out. Also good for sea planes where you need
a lot of low speed thrust to get on the step.

STOL is another matter but they tend to be rather slow anyway.
Now if you had fowler flaps and movable leading edge slats well
then yes. By all means C.S.!
