Some folks seems to be pretty please with there Rotax 912S so I was thinking those 2 new engines might give Lycoming and Continental a little challenge, maybe not ... For what I can see thoses good old Lycomings are quiet good, but kindof expensive . Liquid cooling looks like it'll make it difficult to retrofit to existing designs. I wouldn't be surprised to see a company like Diamond modify one of their designs for it. How they can run a 10.8 to 1 compression ratio on 87 octane gas is a neat trick. I'm sure temp stabilization from liquid cooling helps, but that still seems like a very high ratio for the low octane fuel. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
