Hi. Not to discourage you but the shape and sealing of a Wankel rotary engine are a bear! Good idea though. Power to weight is good and an R/C does not have to meet emissions. It is possible : http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2001/04/10_cmbus.html

wankel motors aren't "small". They're used in diesel trucks. Try a two-stroke
