Jeff, The TBI is the one, basically a copy of the Bing. Neil.

Neil, you keep mentioning the Rotec carby: Do you mean their Bing carburetor or their TBI as shown on this link: https://www.rotecaerosport.com/tbi

Now I am confused!! Let me start again and where I am coming from is the everyday builder that may consider a rotary over a Lyc.
Price and time will dictate in most cases. Lets start with a second hand Lyc $30,000 That gives "wriggle room" on a rotary of say $15 - 20,000 ready to go.
$10,000 for an redrive and ECU does not leave much especially if it is a single rotor.
I really like Lynn's suggestion of fixed ignition together with a Rotec carby, Carby $600 USD and fuel is mainly done together with the ability to control mixture via the carby.
THat leaves ignition NO matter how I look at it with any sort of of ECU it takes little to get to say $2000 -- if you have some idea about computers -- I don't!
What is actually necessary with a simple ignition? MY choice in order is Spark and timing. RPM, A/F ratio, Engine and oil temp and pressure , Battery voltage. Then whatever turns you on as anything else is not critical to flight or engine health. I realise that the sky is the limit here but all cost money to be balanced against the Rotary vs the Lyc.
Suggestions?? Remember I am computer illiterate. I prefer to say I was born too early rather than I am totally stupid!! Price will sway people to a rotary rather than "lovely" gadgetry that cost a lot of money.
