    Love that rotary content. The rotary content is what originally lead me to subscribe to this channel. It is obvious that the last build on that motor was done very poorly. These poor builds is what makes rotary engines not reliable. Many engines are done like this and then the motor gets a bad reputation. The builder of the rotary engine is one of the keys to a reliable rotary engine. Well hell I guess this can be said about all engines. I am sure that speed academy will do it right and it will be reliable. Brap on
