         Instead of duplicating much of what the EAA has already done, I 
think it would be wise to write up proceedures, checklists etc. that speak 
only of the differences one needs to address for a rotary engine. You can 
make these an appendix or addendum to the existing EAA procedures, 
checklists, etc.

         This is the approach we took at NEDRA. We wrote a set of safety 
rules that modified the existing NHRA safety rules. There was no need 
whatsoever to rewrite the whole rulebook, just the parts that didn't work 
for electrics. It worked perfectly.
