Now, if they would put something in it other than a Rotax.

I have heard several pilots and my A&P express disdain for Rotax
engines. Why is this? They certainly seem to be popular with the
homebuilt and LSA crew. I have no experience with the aviation
versions.

And they seem to power the predators OK...

I'd be interested to know what the problem is
as well... The 80 or so hours I've logged behind
them have been totally without issue. No mixture
control, no need for carb heat. The engine seems
more like a big electric motor with a speed control
than a gas engine.

Just to be clear, we're talking about the
4-stroke water-cooled 912, not a 2-stroke.
