steady torque
i read somewhere that although rotaries aren't the best candidate for high torque numbers that the torque that is there is pretty linear.
can anyone elaborate on this or just confirm?

Yep that is true...
Turbo rotary engines tend to have better torque but you will still seldom see a rotary motor with more torque than HP. The modern non turbo Renisis Rotary motor found in the RX-8 makes 232 HP peak, but only 160 ft/lbs peak
On some rotary motors the Torque curve is flat between 3500 and 6000 RPM and generally at its peak the entire time.
