As I was going back thru my back issues of KITPLANE magazine (Feb 2011), I saw another article on the rotary engine. It got me thinking, so I am doing a bit of research on the engine right now and was wondering if anyone on the list had any experience with these? The one website (

Stephen,I think the short answer is yes and no. The project should have a measurement of three dremel tools and no there does not seem to be a better or worse brand. I am still using the 3rd one from my build time which I ended up buying the better craftsman one.Joe Horton,Coopersburg, PA.

Thanks Dana. I have beefed up the fuselage in the firewall area and will be adding a few other mods to the KR (longer wings, add a couple of bays out back, increase the horizontal stabilizer area as well as the rudder) She will also have only one seat. Burial plot already taken care of. Doug

I agree with Dana that the rotary is a good choice, just heavy for our application. Ron, www.atkinsrotary.com should be a good link to being able to actually acquire a single rotor setup that would be compatible to the KR. I was just little let down about the weight vs. hp output for this
