Runs VERY VERY SMOOTH. The plane doesnt shake rattle and roll when starting
(like a horizontally opposed piston engine).

I had a little rotary Mazda coupe (RX-4?) about 30 yrs ago that was one of my
favorite cars ever. Very smooth and powerful, if a bit thirsty. Had a 4 bbl
carb the size of a washtub on it. I had it up to 120 mph one time and
chickened out with plenty of room to go before redline. Great engine.

That's going to be a great airplane. Can't wait to see it at OSH.
