    indeed for being deemed "too reliable" and "having unfair weight advantages". Rotary engines are awesome. I wouldn't say > all either, but I think they're under appreciated for what they can do.

    To the guy who asked if this was normal or semi normal for rotaries, in a way, cause a rotary running rich pushes more fuel through without burning it up than a rich piston engine.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Yeah I remember reading about that. Something about the rotary not showing any signs of wear after the race. I cant seem to find it right now but didnt they race on like 86 octane as well?
