Wankel Rotary

diamond / midwest / norton

 

Guys I've just registered and reading this group rekindled my interest. I'd wanted to use a rotary in my 701 however no response to enquiries and no availability meant using a Jabiru 2200 (which has worked OK) The best fit would have been the Diamond (formerly Midwest formerly Norton) http://www.diamond-air.at/diamondengines+M52087573ab0.html There was even a dealer in aussie but they dont seem alive to email Another prospect is Wade engineering in NZ they are rumored to be producing a 2 rotor w/ gearbox similar to the 13b There is supposed to be a 95 hp single rotor version too which would be easier on the cooling ? but what i've just read suggests there is advantages in 'flying home' if one chamber goes out Ralph in NZ - CH701 with Jabiru 2200 oh and my other engine is a JFS100a just a little noisy for the locals
