I just checked several other FAA records
for known rotary engines. They were all registered as “reciprocating”
as well.
I now know what to do!
Back and forth and round and round mean
the same thing in governmentspeak!

"Wankel" is unacceptable!
Actually looks like I was forced to chose
reciprocating:

I made application the other day to
register my plane with the FAA. I just got back today in the mail a request
to clarify the type of engine on the Affidavit of Ownership. “The
type shall be either reciprocating, turbopropeller, etc.”
“The type ‘wankel’ is
unknown and is unacceptable.”
Since the engine is none of the above,
what did you guys use when you registered your planes??? I am at a
loss as to what would be the correct type???
