Lol, not gonna post my pic inviting you to the 3 other threads on this topic, because i only know of 1 and think you might have missed [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_1157053/tm.htm]it[/link].

It's quite informative and covers almost everything you might want to know about Rotary engines in the world of RC.

Enjoy
