Rusty, three blocks from my house in Nederland, Texas (next south of
Beaumont, off I10 30 miles from Tex-Louisianna border) there is an old
British air boat that has been sitting for years.  It has two small rotary
engines to run the air boat prop(s?).  I tried to check the data plates a
few years ago - don't see any record of the info in my files.  I'll go look
if you want.  HP could be 35 to 50.
