.55 L Rotary Engine MINI Runing Model

I was thinking the other day, they have like model size runing v8's.

Well why shouldnt i have a runing 1/2 size or even 16th size rotary.

Not only would it really suck to build but i think it would be pritty cool.
I have the stuff to build the engine but i think it will be more of a headace then its worth.

You sure it wasnt a small single rotor engine from a snowmobile or the likes? There is, however, a rotary model airplane engine.

See i was thinking of a 2 rotor 12a style.

But if its a engine i can buy i might as well just buy two of them and mod them to be a 2 rotor.
