I think it's unfortunate that it uses the O-200 engine.


IIRC, the Cont O-200 has a TBO of 1,800 hours. Have you checked the
TBO on the Rotax?


TBO on the Rotax is 1,500 hours.


And then you throw it away and buy a new one because no one will work on it
and you couldn't get parts if you could find someone to do the overhaul.
