I'm curious. Why does a Rotax 912 with only 259 hours on it need work and
parts? Was it in a wreck?

Our former EAA chapter president has, the last I heard, over 600
trouble-free hours in his Rotax 912-powered Zenair Zodiac, which he built
here in WNC. In the springtime he flew his homebuilt to California and
back. In our chapter's mail group he wrote an article in which he said the
engine had never even burped. He is competing with other chapter members
for the number of Young Eagles flown in the Zenair. I've lost count on
that one.

I don't have much faith in the 2-strokes but Rotax's 4-strokes have built a
good record. The engine advertised here may be a fluke or there may be
some special circumstances. The engine is required to be cowled properly
because the cylinders are air-cooled while the heads are cooled with a 50/50
mix of water and ethylene glycol. In addition the engine is manufactured
with a psru and turns at roughly twice the rpm as the prop.
