Has anyone ever considered a Mazda Rotary engine in the Piet? I know,there are probably some of you ablout ready to have a heart attack withthe idea... I have read and researched quite a bit on these, cause Iwas going to use one in a Bearhawk, but that project has been put onhold for the Piet. They have excellent HP to weight ratios! it wouldmore thatn likely need prop speed reduction also. Just curious. I knowthat many different engines have been used, and was curious to see ifthis has been attempted before.Tom BrantHas anyone ever considered a MazdaRotary enginein the Piet?
