Project number one is my '92 Celica.  If I get comfortable with that, it'll g=
o on whatever airplane I end up building.  It'll be a few years before I eve=
n start, so I don't know what it'll go on.  I asked on a forum, and they add=
ed support for 7 and 9 cylinder radials, so depending on what I go with for a=
 plane I may put one on a Rotec.  My guess is that I'm going to build a smal=
l/cheap plane to start off...a VW with a belt redrive maybe?  Something like=
 that probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to a lot of people, I'll ju=
stify it by saying I'm the type of person who greatly values the education a=
spect of experimental aviation.
