So you think the Wankel type engine would be a good fit in a cub? Would you
mind answering a few questions? (if you have time)



1.       What is the average cost to put a "airworthy" rotary engine
together?

2.       Are parts expensive? I don't see any RX7 around anymore?

3.       Do you know if the Auto flight gear box is any good? (Made in New
Zealand)

4.       Do you think the 2.49:1 gear box would be a good fit for a cub?
(big long prop)

5.       Are there any rotary engine flying in Minnesota? Are there a lot of
rotary engine flying?

6.       What is the average weight of a completed rotary with  gear box?

7.       I see on your website there are many different links to related to
the Rotary engines, where  is the best place to educate a non rotary guy
like myself?

8.       Are the ignition system redundant?



Sorry for all the questions,

Thanks for your time!

1. about $10,000

2. Some parts like rotor housings are but
there is no machining cost for over haul.
If built right you won't need parts.

3. I have no idea. No info good or bad. You would
be on the bleeding edge.

4. 2.85:1 would be better.

5. There should be some up there but I can't think of
their names.


6. firewall forward with everything around 300 pounds.
If you go with aluminum end housings knock off 50 pounds.

7. Other than the web site go to a junk yard and buy
one and take it apart. A 12A should be pretty cheap.
