Nervous about Rotax
Yeah, but you hear about O-200s routinely going well past TBO, to 2400 hours
at least (one guy claimed most fo the ones he knew about went to 3000 with no problems, but I'm not sure how much I believe that). OTOH, the consensus seems to be that Rotax 912s don't seem to want to make it past 800 or so, never mind the 1500 rated TBO. My instructors put close to 1500hrs on a rotax in a year with just routine maintenance. Last time I flew it, it had around 1480hrs. The plane was a Evektor Sportstar.
