Good points! I have no idea how to find out what the continuous rated power
would be on this engine. I would love to have a DeltaHawk engine but as you
put it, I do not have a ton of money. I was leaning heavily toward the
Mazda rotary, looks like the way to as there are many flying already and
components are available.

Thanks

Sure, but you might find that it can only handle 50% continuous power (or
less), which would put it way behind what, say, a DeltaHawk can do.

Unless
you have a ton of money, time, and aircraft engine development
experience................

I have need been able to find any real specs on this engine except that

it
has an aluminum black with steel reinforcement and sleeves. Should be

light
for the available power. Might be able to go without gear reduction

just
using a prop shaft with thrust bearings coupled directly to the crank or
flywheel.
