Well, that rotary engine won't be spinning after all. All that work and it was working perfectly. I installed it to the fuselage and when I tried to put the cowling on it wouldn't fit. The engine was sticking out too far. The firewall was already solidly glued to the front of the body, and there's no way to take it off again. My only option was to take the wire-cutters and just cut it off, then remove the remains from the back of the engine and just glue the engine directly to the firewall. Now it fits fine, and the cowling is on. It's no big loss, but it would have been cool. Oh well...
