Group,

                  Have discussed many times as to the reasons why rotarys  are not the first choice for builders.  While not really cheap by the time they are ready to fly., they are indestructible (within reason).

The general consensus seems to end up with the conclusion that builders have had enough by the time it comes to an engine install, then --- another 1000 hours.  So they take the shortcut and buy a quick solution.  I really like Chris's solution  in reality a FWF package. While Chris is spilling secrets, I also dream of a single rotor FWF package for the lighter builders (UP to 150 HP).  Having said that, both have a common problem, the rotary exhaust noise and heat.  Cooling is no longer a problem.  The answer to both is a turbo not to overly boost but to normalise at altitude.  The turbo eliminates the need to P port as well. It gives many options as per HP and gives an acceptable exhaust noise.
    The main answer is as I said a FWF package on the market at a realistic price.  Go Chris.
