I asked the local FSDO to upgrade my operating limitations, so that I could
  test fly my new gearbox and prop.  The inspector said that he  would have to reinspect my bird, which he did a few weeks later.
  
  He brought a "technical expert" with him to assist, as he was not  familiar with that engine type.  After a brief look over, my  inspector asked his helper if he had any questions, to which he  replied" Just one, what kind of motor is that?"
  
  I answered" A Mazda rotary".  He asked again " Well what kind of motor is that?"
  
  I answered " A Wankle". He was getting nowhere and repeated" No, what kind of motor is that".
  
  I went for the whole shebang this time "It is a Mazda 13B Wankle rotary motor, out of a Mazda RX7 sports car"
  
  Ohhhhh, that's it!.  It is a car motor!
  
  Issue resolved, he signed the new Airworthiness Certificate and operating limits.
