I might be interested in your engine (but probably not the rest of the plane)... would you consider selling it separately?

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.

Actually, if you can get the burn down to .47/hr, that's better than where most a/c engine fliers are willing to go (fears of poorly understood  dangers of burning exhaust valves). Low octane car gas has more energy than avgas, too, as long as it doesn't have alcohol in it.

Yes, but if you use mogas at ~ $3.85 a gallon versus avagas at $6+ a gallon, you are saving money. Range is decreased though.

Hi Sam,
   There has not been any significant dyne testing of the Mazda rotary in 
aircraft configuration (and there are no two alike) so I don't think anyone can 
give you those numbers.  Typical fuel burn at cruise is between 6.5 and 8.5 GPH.   
Everyone uses their own power setting for cruise.

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