Do any of you know if the rotary engine would qualify for sport pilots
regarding the limitation to "reciprocating engines"?

I have little doubt they would. The "reciprocating engines" limitation is there to block turbine engines.

"No sports pilots can fly it. Jerry"
Question: If a sport pilot can't fly it...who can? I guess I don't know
my regulations very well.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
In this case, the important part of the FARs is not about the sport pilot certificate, but the definition of a Light-Sport airplane. Here is a pasted copy of the relevant portion of FAR 1.1 Definitions:
___________
Light-sport aircraft means an aircraft, other than a helicopter or powered-lift that, since its original certification, has continued to meet the following:
(1) A maximum takeoff weight of not more than
(i) 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms) for aircraft not intended for operation on water; or
(ii) 1,430 pounds (650 kilograms) for an aircraft intended for operation on water.
(2) A maximum airspeed in level flight with maximum continuous power (VH) of not more than 120 knots CAS under standard atmospheric conditions at sea level.
(3) A maximum never-exceed speed (VNE) of not more than 120 knots CAS for a glider.
(4) A maximum stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed without the use of lift-enhancing devices (VS1) of not more than 45 knots CAS at the aircraft's maximum certificated takeoff weight and most critical center of gravity.
(5) A maximum seating capacity of no more than two persons, including the pilot.
(6) A single, reciprocating engine, if powered.
(7) A fixed or ground-adjustable propeller if a powered aircraft other than a powered glider.
( A fixed or autofeathering propeller system if a powered glider.
(9) A fixed-pitch, semi-rigid, teetering, two-blade rotor system, if a gyroplane.
(10) A nonpressurized cabin, if equipped with a cabin.
(11) Fixed landing gear, except for an aircraft intended for operation on water or a glider.
(12) Fixed or retractable landing gear, or a hull, for an aircraft intended for operation on water.
(13) Fixed or retractable landing gear for a glider.
___________
For this engine discussion, I believe a rotary engine can be lumped into the class of reciprocating engines (item 6 above) but any turbine engine would not fit.
