The truth is it's really stupid to design, sell, or fly a helicopter
powered by a small 2-stroke engine.

Why? the trouble has never been that one of our Rotax powered engines
quit because it failed from over excursion
Like it or not, your comments are unfounded, uninformed, based on lack
of experience and unappreciated.


Rotax Operators Manual, page 4-2 "Warning: This engine, by its design,
is subject to sudden stoppage".

Evidently, you didn't read that far.

Rich,
It is true what the manual said. It says that in every Rotax manual for
every airplane, balloon, gyroplane, hovercraft and other helicopter out
there flying. A statement like you made is only meant to be slanderous
and mean, but lacks any foundation. Everyone knows that Rotax puts that
in every manual simply for liability reasons because or their lack of
ability to oversee all installation operations. In reality every engine
in the world is subject to the same possible fate.
