me, is suspect.
I know, in theory they are almost bulletproof because they have so few
moving parts - but in practice they are fragine.

Heck, I won't even take my chainsaw up a ladder, why would I fly
behind one????
TBO on the 2 stroke stuff is PITIFUL.


Yep. Yet they touted that crap as AIRWORTHY.

I wonder how many people are pushing up daisies, because of that attitude.



If you totally ovehaul a Rotax 2 stroke every 300 hours and are VERY
carefull with what fuel and oil you run, they are unlikely to kill
you. Go 500 hours, run ethanol fuel or the wrong oil, have the mixture
off - and it's just a matter of WHEN.
