Sam,

I currently have my Cozy MK-IV listed for sale on Barnstormers with a rotary engine on engine mount that has already been in another Flying Cozy. Not sure if you have already started your project or would be interested, but check it out. If you are interested I can send you more info and pictures.

Hi Sam,

give you those numbers.  Typical fuel burn at cruise is between 6.5 and 8.5=
 GPH.  =20
Everyone uses their own power setting for cruise.

Best info we have on BSFC is around .45 - .47 lb/HP/hr.
