Hi Trev, Your point is well taken. Again, I have nothing against the Rotax.
I would ony remind you that the North American P-51 was designed around the
Allison engine and only "came alive" and gained it's reputation as the best
fighter of WWII after switching to the Rolls Royce Merlin. The list of
aircraft whose performance and economy were improved by an engine switch or
replacement is endless. Choice is a good thing. It's one of the important
elements that drives research and developement. My best to you and to your
Europa. Milt Black

Hi Milt,
I can only quote the designer "the aircraft was designed around the Rotax
engine and it is the only one that delivers the performance with economy"
