Single rotor Engine

I know this has been brought up time and time before, but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for.

I am wondering how much hp a heafty street ported half 12 a engine would produce? I am also wondering how mutch it would weigh as well. I might be using this in an aircraft. I am thinking about going with a twin engine design, so I would be running 2 half 12a engines.

Thanks, Ted.

Atkins rotary builds single rotor engines for marine use that run upto 100 HP I believe. I dont seem to recall if they said it was a 12a or 13b housing + rotor, but something tells me its probably a half 13b. I always wondered if you replaced a stock 12a with the single rotor how much it would change the handling considering all the hp would still be there. I think itd be neat anyway...

single rotor setups can be made, and the best part? they can be made using stock parts, and stock weights
