This would be perfect for a couple rotaries, with turbos it'd be
insane!
Not sleek & sexy, but very utilitarian, very effective as designed.

Not sexy? Are you kidding me? It's gorgeous! Haha. I've been
eyeballing the evangel for a couple years now dreaming of a rotary
conversion. I love them boxy birds.
Check out, in detail, the high wing they(Angel aircraft) made too.
And the twin pusher... :-)

Kimmi,
I think the Evangel is sexy too, I just know its not for
everyone...its my understanding that the hi-wing, tricycle version was
the prototype, not familiar with the pusher version..(bet they abandoned
that idea due to debris being kicked up into propellers) I've also had
dreams of a scaled down Antonov An-2... maybe only 4 seats... powered by
a turbo'd rotary, of course!

The long nose turbo-prop converted is An-3, a few were converted to
WIG (wing in ground effect for ekranoplane project) and that twin tail
oddity.. such an awesomely versatile aircraft, just needs a better
engine! ;-)

Nice, Dan! I love the AN-2 design. It's pure utility and
ingenuity.. if someone were to scale it down and add a turbo'd rotary
you'd get a great STOL/cruiser with an outrageously epic useful load.
Yeah the twin pusher from Angel didn't last too long if I recall
what I've read correctly but it was a really neat looking design (even
by the majority's standards lol)!! And you are correct about the high
wing prototype.
I want a 6 seat Wittman Tailwind with easily removable seats to
accommodate cargo.. with a turbo rotary.. go fast carry weight and climb
like crazy. Flying the Cessna 206 gave me ideas. Haha!

Me flying an AN2 attached.
