Hi Russel,
I may not write a lot at this time, but the RES12
and RES13 will not go away.
In addition to using my AVID as a test bed, I think
the second engine will go into a SONEX.
I believe the rotary engine will only perform
superior if used with a constant speed(in flight adjustable) prop. Fortunately,
there are two props in the power range available, these are the Italian QUINTI
and the Airmaster from Newseeland.
The prices seem to be reasonable.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis single
rotor
Greetings,
I've been on the gyro
list, asking about the possibility of using a single rotor engine on a
Dominator gyro. Anyway, below is the reply that someone
posted. I've prodded him for more info, such as weighs for the housings,
etc. I'll pass along anything he gives me.

I have a project here underway involving the single rotor Mazda,
we are using RX8 side port end housings, might be of interest to you? I plan
to flight test this engine on the tandem Dominator. I don't like the Mazda
rotary but after seeing the inards of the RX8 Renisis engine I'm way more
interested! What we need to do is abandon the cast iron housings, but this is
easier said than done due to thermal problems and maintaining sealing. Mazda
have done it in the 24 hour race. It may be that the rotary is about to have
its day in the sun! I'm sure we have all heard this before!
