Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Rotax engine mechanic training?

Well Jay I take a look at these engines and I can't understand why anyone would want one and not just because they are so inefficient. They can't even start properly. You get into a Jabiru or Rotax powered plane, turn the key, and bang the engine starts instantly. You get into a Lycoming or Continental powered plane, turn the key, and the engine chugs over and over then coughs. You shut the key off. You try again. Chug chug cough and wow it actually started this time. Good God man they are pieces of junk.

Aside from the last statement which is debatable all the rest are facts.
