hi, are you have rx8 porting templates?
thank you vins lee
I don't recommend porting the RX8 engine. It is cheaper to p-port and
you get far more power.
Paul Lamar
Paul, I'm new to all of this, although I've been interested in rotary
engines since they came out. What is a P-port?

In the youtube video demonstration of a tandem Autogyro. I believe
the Mazda 12a is the power plant. Could you also have used the 13b .
I am assuming the power requirement is between 100- 110 hp
Regards Zahid
Yes. The power could be much higher. Perhaps as much as 150 HP.
