Rotax engines- LSA's hope, or curse?
" Considering that Lycoming and Continental have BILLIONS (TRILLIONS ?? )
of
hours flying, it's not surprising that they've killed more pilots. What's
also amusing is people that can't correlate data but shoot their mouth off
anyway.

Oh yes... thank you, I see now, your data is much more precise than mine
(BILLIONS and TRILLIONS). Oh, hang on! you have no data either. Perhaps
you should correlate some data and then proceed to shoot your mouth off.
While we are on the subject, Morgans advised that two LSA aircraft with
Rotax engines crashed after engine failures and even though they were
probably the ultralight two stroke Rotax engines, he will never fly any LSA
at all and particularly with any Rotax engine including the ultra reliable
four stroke 912 or the unrelated Jabiru engine. There is simply no
comparison between a two stroke Rotax a four stroke Rotax and a Jabiru,
please, are we really that stupid to bundle all LSA aircraft and engines
into one basket because of two crashes?
By the way, a friend of mine was flying a Russian utility plane with an M14P
radial engine when it threw a rod/piston and the engine failed. As a
result, you will not find me flying an all metal GA aircraft, particularly
Cessna's and Pipers with piston engines made by Lycomming or Continental!
