Buy the Jabiru if you want to carry tools rather than a passenger....
Lets start with adjusting the valves every 25 hours and maybe retension
the heads every 10, then add all the failures, both electrical and
mechanical add the total lack of support and silly answers like... never
heard of that before, your the first one etc etc Get the Drift.

I am doing some research into ultralight engines (planning to build one).

The Rotax 912S and the Jabiru 3300 are the models i am looking into.

Does anyone know how much it costs to maintain them? I just need very
generic examples to get an idea.

How much does it cost to overhaul them (one or the other)?

Any of you ever needed repairs done on them? Did you do them yourselves? How
much did it cost (wether or not did you do them yourselves)?

And how about oil changes, and replacements of parts?

Again, just general examples would be great for me to start getting an idea
of what I am getting into

Thanks a lot!!
