Dear Lufbery and FltMech,
It is my understanding that it was not uncommon to re-engine the Camel with the 110 as it was felt to be more reliable than the Clerget. It is a bit of a paradox. We try very hard to remain committed to original equipment and/or original specs. In fact, the Camel will be a specific airframe(F1535) that would have been engined with a Gnome 160 or possibly a BR1. If and when we find one that can be rebuilt we will replace it with that to be more correct and use this engine in another more correct project or pass it on to someone who can. Currently we are private and relative novices compared to the likes of Roger Freeman and Fred Murrin but are working on establishing 501-c status. Very focused on Sopwiths at present. We've never really thought about a need for a rotary for "non-original" type replicas due to our narrow focus, the idea is intriguing though. I know someone (Munson perhaps) in the mid-west had made a working 5 cylinder I think a few years ago. Thanks again for your contributions to the thread.
Best regards,
William
