Hang in there Rusty. I got some of the same in the early days, having a ducted fan and a rotary engine. I may eventually go PSRU but I will never go Lycoming! Love that rotary. I think I'm accumulating more hours that the trainers on the field.

Thanks Perry.  Say, I've been meaning to ask if you've ever looked into the Jet Hawk.  As I'm guessing you know, it was a jet looking ducted fan design that used a rotary engine.  These were advertised quite a bit years ago, plans were sold, and a few were completed, but it's my understanding that it didn't perform that well.  I guess it used a simple homemade fan, that didn't work very well.  I tried at one time to buy plans, but never found anyone to sell me any.  I'd probably still buy a set if anyone has any.  I understand that there are some fan units that would make the plane work, but the fans are about $10k. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
