One other thing, not many people use the rotary engine, so it is kind of
short of tech support and make easy infrastructure, such as a FWF kit
builders just have to bolt on and hook up all the lines. I am not sure I
am up to the challenge to do this, even though I am very mechanically
inclined and have several trade licenses, both in electrical and
mechanical. I am a electrician and an industrial  millwright. That is
why I only started a kit so late, instead of 30 years ago, I did not
feel like spending 15+years in a garage  building. But I want to build
at least one airplane in my life. I joined the EAA in the 1970's.

 I already made much more compromises than I was willing to in the past
to arrive at a 750. I wanted a cross country airplane, and one thing for
sure, any small plane Chris Heintz designed would never be in any risk
of winning any races or beauty contests. But this one is made right here
in Ontario, and I have the plans even if the factory went belly up,
something I have seen often. I can still finish the plane. It would be a
real set back if the first plane failed because I cannot solve the
engine problems. But then a certified engines are not trouble free, by a
long shot and it cost a bundle. I see few of them make it to TBO.

The rotary is at least simple, smooth and powerful, and no valves to
burn , stuck or to swallow. So I have to do a bit of math refueling, to
mix oil, but then, I have to do the same with my chain saw. I have a few
months + now to check out all the details.
How about your phone number and time I can call you. I am 3 hours ahead
of you here.
