The Cozy and the velocity were designed and intended to be used with a
"certified" horizontally opposed air cooled engine. Some enterprising
experimenters have used the rotary/wankel engine, with varying degrees of
success.

if you want to tinker, maintain and build, then go EXP.

Maybe my next assessment is Mooney vs. ???
