Default BMW engine aircraft suitable?

Molt Taylor was right. It's really hard to make a PSRU work well on
any engine with less than 8 cylinders. That's one reason why I
suggested fitting two small displacement, 4-cyl blocks together to
make a flat-8.


A six cylinder in row or any engine with balance shaft may do the job.
Or, better, a Wankel....

I agree with the planetary gear (C6 from Ford transmission ?)

The chalange is always the dynamic comportement, vibrations may
cause severe overloads.
