I wouldn't think that it would be as good as a water cooled recip, because
you are loosing a lot of the fuel energy in the exhaust stream- the rotary
just doesn't have a lot of expansion room with those rotors..... still, it
is a great motor, and I am looking foreword to visiting with some of the
installers at OSH in the next few years. As for me, if Crossflow ever gets
my PSRU to me, I might just get my Subi in the air soon.....

Comparable to Lyc, not as good as Subaru or Ford or GM. Still, it's
difficult to argue against four moving parts and a rotating mass.
Works for me ... Jim S.

reduction drive for the Allison 250 ....!

Or maybe a 400# compact rotary installation on a std Velocity that
dynos out at 265hp. (just couldn’t resist J.
