your opinion. is some thing like this fesable or doable?

William,
Bare block weight of the 13B engine is 180 pounds. When all systems are
added
up, the total is around 275. Cost depends on how you obtain it. Get a
used
engine & overhaul it yourself and the cost can be as low as $1000 - 1500,
not
including redrive, intake, cooling & exhaust systems. . Power is between
160
- 190 HP depending on intake & exhaust tuning. The engine & redrive are
about
35" long. The engine itself is about a 13" cube.
You can use any propeller suitable for the aircraft.

>>> I have an idea of a AirJeep that , if successful, could allow an
owner to
land on water, land and ride home to park in one,s garage.. Could do away
with
the automobile as a means of ground transportation. The model geometry of
folding and srowing the wings by rotating to rest on three points is
worked
out. The use of rotarry engine is part of the design. Your comments of
the
13b would be of benefit to the idea. Could you give me the engine weight,
cost, horse power, and outside deminsions? The engiine would be a pusher
on a
high wing design. What is the propeller design--two, three, are four
blade,
fixed or adjustable design? <<<
