We had a xmass party at a engine shop and had to bet how long would a rotary last for at full noise. Well it reved like a jet engine and then it flew apart, bits every where. BTW Psman32 & enzo the rotor does one turn to three output shaft turns, the rotors have a lot of wieght in them about 14 pounds so you don't want to spin them to fast. Less work to overhaul a rotary engine than a piston one. The quickest way to kill a rotary is to trash it when it's cold you got to warm them up before the big rev. Got a mpeg of a RX7 doing a burn out and blowing the motor
and the hood off.
