Project number one is my '92 Celica.  If I get comfortable with that, it'll go on whatever airplane I end up building.  It'll be a few years before I even start, so I don't know what it'll go on.  I asked on a forum, and they added 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 small/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 justify it by saying I'm the type of person who greatly values the education aspect of experimental aviation.
