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.

The type of person that can't make sense of that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.  8*)

Low and slow with a gas sipping VW is a beautiful way to fly.

Again, if I had a do-over, I would have started with something much less ambitious.  Or maybe not.  I'm not known for my
 sanity.
