I am at present checking into the possibility of using such engines for
my Zenith 750. I just started the kit, but it will not take me long.
Past suggestion to me indicated a single rotor 13b is what I need. I
need about 125 HP + or - ??? The airframe can accept up to 140 HP and
max 280 lbs. 2 rotors may be too heavy ?
By going this route, I am really stretching the word "experimental"
What I am looking for
1) an engine, and who can overhaul it to aircraft standard.I hear these
engines are almost as fuel tolerant as turbines. So can I pour anything
flammable into the gas tank?
2)engine mount and redrive.(I don't want to go near anything made in
China!) Standard Cont 0-200 mount I just send the factory a cheque!
3) ignition system and fuel injection system, (do I need to mix oil with
gas? what oil are being used for lubing the tip seals?) Canadian company
called EM-3
4) the spec for radiator cabin heater and muffler,I want a warm and
quiet airplane.
5) a rough price for the everything Fire Wall Forward. What about
insurance ?? I already know if it is the FAA in the US, an engine like
this , they would stick the builder with 40 hours of testing instead of
25 hours. So I fly a week more.
The standard engine for this bird is Cont 0-200, 100 HP, but this bird
will eventually go on floats, so the extra power will be needed.
I am buying the Aviator's Guide to Mazda Rotary Conversion soon.
The other choices of engines are Corvairs (120HP), Rotex 912 S (used)
100HP, Viking Honda Fit engine, Lycoming 0-320 150 HP, but I hate the
expensive 1940 technologies.
Thanks for your help.

An 801 is more suitable for a 2 rotor. See attached pictures.
Contact Richard Sohn for a one rotor for a 750.

1) Many people can overhaul it as stock is well up to or exceeds aircraft
standards.
Gasoline is required. Best is P-port.

2) Engine mount DoRite in Ventura Ca. Any tig welding shop.

Redrive: Real World Solutions.
3)Real World Solutions. Mixing 2 cycle oil with gas is best.
4)Book How To Cool Your Wankel from Mazdatrix or direct from me.
5)$6,000 to $10,000 US.

Tony,
Just a gentle bit of advice, do not go anywhere near the Viking
engine. The engine is possibly OK, but the manufacturer and support if any
is definitely Suspect. I and 250 others had personal experience with the
previous Subaru engines. Again nothing wrong with Subaru, but plenty when I
PAID $25,000 for a firewall package that was never complete, I had to alter
things that many times that I spent another 4 years in altering the package
as the Manufacturer continually changed his mind as the clients did all the
R & D for him. Before I even flew the 1st package I was informed that the
PSRU he supplied was junk and he would graciously send me a new version for
$4.500 plus freight of course.
If you want verification, I can supply a
closed web site you can apply to join where what remains of the 250
"victims" are still trying to self help each other as Mr Eggenfellner
refuses to even talk to most of us let alone support what he sold. THe
only reason he is still breathing is that he is 12000 miles away, or he
would definitely have been "caressed" with a brick. The only ones who had
any support whatever were those who lived within driving distance. He is
still sitting on approx 10 deposits 0f $10,000 each for propellers that he
cannot supply. Refunds? what refunds?
If you think I am still upset, you should have met me 4 years ago. The
only thing that has helped heal the wound are people like Paul who are
genuine helpers and actually know what they are talking about.
