Default Rotax engines- LSA's hope, or curse?

Only because they have about a bazillion more engines flying! Golly, are
you that dense?


Jesus! a BAZILLION! that's more than Matt's BILLIONS & TRILLIONS. Come on,
how old are you two guys? Eight? Does you parents know that your playing on
the internet?

Yes, they do, and many times because of neglect, of one form or another.
On the other hand, the two LSA's that went down with their Rotax engines
had just been through the approval process, and have no doubt received
much attention and scruitiny. I certainly would not have expected a new
demonstrator to fail. But, where there are Rotax, .....


Possible reasons for EFATO:-

1. Pilot forgot to turn on the fuel tap before take off.
2. Pilot forgot to put two stroke oil in the engine before take off.
3. Pilot forgot to put fuel in the tank before take off.
4. Pilot forgot to open cowl flaps and cooked the engine on take off.
5. Pilot forgot to turn on fuel pump before take off.

Any of the above could have happened and would have or may have caused an
engine failure on a new engine/aircraft.none are the fault of the engine.

In this use, I think you intended to use the spelling of "you're."


Thank you for YOUR correction of my typo. YOUR understanding of the English
language is impeccable. I've probably made a "BAZILLION" more typos in my
time.
