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.
