How about a 100 HP Gnome rotary engine (of WWI fame) built with modern materials?

The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
I am sure that there would be a small market for a modern rotary for the WWI replica crowd, but given all the disadvantages in terms of handling due to gyroscopic precession, I'd much rather see a small radial of similar size and power.

Menasco D-4 Super Pirate gets my vote!
Warner, because of its seven-cylinder, air-cooled and radial piston engine. That's why it was the most commonly seen of the small radials for US-built pre-WWII era aircraft.
We are looking at producing Warner parts and later, complete engines. Let me know you interest..
