Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Can cruising the Rotax 912 a bit below 5000 RPM actually INCREA

Thank you so much for the post and surly the enlightenment.  For those poor souls who search for information on this forum attempting to gain more insight on topics not learned or found elsewhere beware; That even though the information given from people with decades of engine, airframe work experience and thousands of hours flight experience is considered by some as junk science from junk yard mechanics.  And then there are others here who have built and flown dozens of aircraft from kits and still more here in the manufacturing, sales, training and distribution business.  They too could fall into the same sub-category.  So of course, THINK. .  or possibly just do not seek advice or help here; god knows what you may learn.  Just thinking again as advised; I wonder what became of all the in-field problems discovered over the years by many of us junk yard mechanics that really work with and use the Rotax engines daily. Then forwarding this to the experts who BAR NONE, KNOW IT ALL  that actually make engines only to learn from these experts that the problems must be caused by the user because everything they put into print, say or do is infallible.  Curiously we learn later with new engines coming of the assembly line now mysteriously have improvements and changes made addressing those same situations given.  I further wonder how many lives we may have saved from our laughable junk yard science and experience?

Thanks Wes... your recommendation to THINK is a good one.
Except in the cases where thinkers would have done better to not think.
;-)

That said, I just had another thought on this whole delicate 912 thang...
and that is, I'd really like an engine which, at the very least,
can run comfortably and safe without any excessive wear,
at it's engine speed for maximum torque.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays and New Year.

Mike
