That sounds like the best plan, and not just because I like FB's to stay rotary, but because it actually does make a lot of sense. Verts are really heavy, the heaviest rotary powered sports car made if I remember correctly. FB's are light, tremendously light, and with a TII will really shit and get. Great idea.
