Ernest,
I suggest you get the Delta flying with
the rotary. You are very close…don’t give up now! Later if you
want you can trade the Delta for another flying plane. Remember, if you can
afford a plane, you can afford a plane! :>)

is advertising 220lbs without radiators, and has a dyno sheet showing 90hp at
6500rpm.
I'm
selling my rotary equipped Dyke Delta, and thinking about maybe a Zenith Zodiac
650B. It needs 80hp to 100hp. I'm also considering a Corvair
engine, which may give me a little more power and a little less weight for
about the same money (I know. That makes me a heretic), except that I
could reuse a lot of the parts off my Delta's installation if I sale the
airframe without the engine.
What do you guys
(and gals) think?
