Perfect for a 300ex hybid?

Thats pretty cool, but the lack of trans kinda seems weird. Would really like to see a cost. I dont have alot of knowledge about rotors, other than the basics, anyone out there have lots of background in rx's or rotor motors in general?

Buddy of mine is running a 13b twin turbo on his airboat with an 8 blade warp drive prop... Blows away the 6 cylinder Lycomings and Continentals.... It's sick...
The lack of a valvetrain and large weighted reciprocating crank gives a practically unlimited redline.

The specs look nice, but I'd have to test the real-world performance before I'd risk $5440 dollars, plus the engineering work to make it fit and work (the chain is on the wrong side).
