Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Rotax "5 year replace all rubber

Yes, you have a good deal going on east coast Helen. I only have 200 hours since new and 5 years and have the only Rotax 4 stoke in the big city of Bakersfield. I honestly thought there would be more here, especially since we had over 15 UL's at just our airport alone. I am the only one that stuck it out. The rest all got out of flying altogether. I pushed a lot of people towards sport and gave a bunch of demos, but I guess Bakersfield is a poor man's perodise except for deceased Buck Owens, he had all the money here. Hehe. But I am still trying all I can till I get to old or broke too keep it up anymore.

At least at our school, we replace the engines well before the rubber
comes due.
