I don't think the 701 FW will handle the rotary weight; total installed weight is 325lbs. You don't really need 200hp anyway... ;/)
I've purchased a 'PSRU' (propeller speed reduction unit) from Real World Solutions, that will allow a takeoff engine RPM of 8000 RPM. Cruise will be around 7000 RPM with a prop speed of ~2700.

Wow! Rotary! Gutsy.
I've got an RX8 that I loved and am building a 701. But I don't have your courage (or youth) so I'm planning on a Jabiru for now.
Man will you have horsepower available.
What engine rpm will you be running at takeoff and cruise and what prop speed?
Best,
Joe
