the damn rotax.

I'll take that Rotax over an O-200 any day. We had nothing
but cylinder and valve trouble with O-200s in C150s and a Champ. It's
typical of the small Continentals. I've flown a 912 only once, but it
was smooth as silk and for about the same power-to-weight ratio, it
pulled much better than the O-200. I've long suspected that the 200
doesn't produce a full 100 hp. Even an old Aircoupe with a C90
accelerated better than the 150, again with about the same power/
weight ratio.
