The Wankel is a bit less fuel effecient than a piston engine. That is true compared to a four stroke piston engine, but the Wankel is still more efficient than a 2 stroke piston engine. Not that it matters in our gliders, as each is equipped with an appropriately sized fuel tank, and fuel cost isn't going to be an issue! -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation Mar/2004" Much of what you need to know tinyurl.com/yfs7tnz
