I know that this is true because I am seriously considering putting a rotary in a Lancair Legacy Fixed Gear. I wish someone would clarify some things for me. What is the difference in the 4 port and 6 port Renesis, and why should I choose the one that I should choose? What does P Port mean and how is it different from the normal port? Does the Renesis (either one) have a P Port and should it be modified to have one put in it? It seems to me that some of the mods needed to put the rotary in a plane are pretty well figured out by you guys...Intake, Exhaust, EC2, Etc.. Some other things, cooling for oil and water, still being invented but with some idea of what to do. Other things that seem to be pretty basic and should have been solved by the certified industry 100 years ago, like how to run gas from the tank to the engine and back, are still being debated like we just realized we needed to consider it. I would really appreciate some help here. I would like to build a plane and fly it. Low on the build and high on the fly part. I am not interested in doing R&D or starting a business building parts. There is a lot of discussion about the gentleman who died as to whether he had his fuel system set up correctly....How can this be? How many different CORRECT ways to do it are there? Is the fuel system for the rotary totally different from a REAL airplane engine? I know that this sound really critical, but I don't mean it to be. Please help!! Bill Bradburry
