I just wonder what the advantage is to this engine if it only generates 90 hp. The rotax engine does that and a Wankel rotary engine would generate about 180 hp in the same cowling space? Of course Mazda will stop production of the Wankel Rotary this year but I feel sure that there are other engines that can generate even more HP in the same space.
I couldn't find which Zenith modle you plan to put this on. But, if you put it in an 801 and put the 801 on floats, WOW! You have yourself a Awsome Bush Plane. Think Alaska!
I want one. That is as long as you can find a way to give me more than 2.5hrs endurance and I can still cary four people and bags. What is the PPH rate? Or better yet GPH? I guessing 18 GPH. That would mean I would need tanks that held 54 Gallons of usable fuel to have my FAA 30 minutes reserve for VFR flight.
When I was a teenager, a man I knew built a volkswagen beetle with a porsche 911 engine, then gave it to his wife. Made NO sense at all, but it WAS cool to look at.
Wow that for a Zenair? Changing the take off length from 120 feet to 3 feet.

it's only 90hp, so would be useless in an 801...you need 180-200hp for the 801.

This looks like a dream combination. Horsepower light weight and extra long durability. What more could you ask for ...er other than certification.
