Rotax Operators Manual, page 4-2 "Warning: This engine, by its design, is subject to sudden stoppage". Evidently, you didn't read that far. A statement like you made is only meant to be slanderous and mean Which statement? All my statements are shown above. The first one is based on the 2nd. The 2nd is straight out of the Rotax manual. And the third is pointing out that maybe you didn't read the manual, for if you did, you'd have realized the first. Rich, it's how you made the statement. You did it in a way that indicated I was negligent, and even though I was smart enough to design and manufacture over 1700 aircraft in my career, I was not smart enough to read the Rotax statement. Well Rich, I did read it. Better than that, I understand it as most people do and was able to see beyond it and accomplish designing a helicopter that can fly with it. Rich, there is no need to be mean or insulting to people. Everyone knows that Rotax puts that in every manual simply for liability reasons because Were you at the meeting with Rthe otax people when they were writing the manual? Because if you weren't then you don't "know" this. I personally belive what the manual says for two reasons. 1) It was written by the people that made the engine, and 2) history has shown that the rotax engines do in fact stop without warning. As a matter of fact, I was involved a great deal with the Rotax distributor and provided them a great deal of knowledge helping to make that warning. Yes I did know before they wrote that warning and I agreed with them. They are handicapped because there are hundreds of different aircraft using their engines and all installed by the public. What a nightmare!! 1. Correct, it was written by the attorneys of the people that made the engine, and for good reason in this sue happy country. 2. The engines fail mostly due to improper installation and operation from lack of the ability to control the public and insure proper installation and operation. And while any engine may in fact strop functioning at any time, the reality is, a 2-stroke is much more likely to quit without much warning then a 4-stroke. Rich Not so. If improperly installed a 4 stroke will fail too. By the way, have you read the warnings in the Rotax manuals for the 4 strokes?? Sounds kind of familiar. Dennis Fetters |
