Bill thanks!
I selected the 12A rotor housing because that size engine suited my airplane. This airplane was designed around a 65hp Rotax engine.
Your second question, there was no Renesis in 1999 when I started.
Since I am well over retiring age, and I don’t consider the engine production ready, yet, I do not have that option.
If someone else wants to pick it up, be my guest.

Congratulations, Richard! A hell of a deal! I had enough of a problem just adapting the Renesis, I can not imagine trying to build the engine from basically scratch
before installing it!
There should be a considerable market for an experimental engine in
the 100 hp range. Do you plan to build and sell them?
I am curious why you selected the smaller 12A instead of the larger
13B engine for your prototype? And also why not the higher compression Renesis rotor in the 13B?

It finally happened!
First flight of 15min. Running like a charm.
OAT was 80F, water and oil 187F at climb out and came down to 160 at level flight.
Next is a thorough inspection before the next flight.
