David, here is a shot of an aircraft rotary (13B early) note that the engine still used a distributor base from the 13B but used two lead coils with wasted spark and no distributor. just a short cap.  Mallory electronic ignition trigger.

Can be done, but why? Mags have more trouble than electronic ignition these days.

Sure, you can do anything with the right tools/equip./planning. Gear drive, cog belt, chain (?), but why when everyone is moving away from that. Mazda Ren. eng. is best w/no moving parts.  David R. Cook RV6A Rotary getting ready for second first flight.
