Thomas,
Thank you for the inspiring description of your recent trip; I've also
enjoyed your website writing and pixs of your globe-girdling
adventures...my hat is off to you.
I'm particularly taken with your satisfactory experience with your
Rotax, having become a Rotax-skeptic while reading accounts of various
problems other Europa owners have had; readers of this forum know me
for my enthusiasm for Alex Bowman's 130 hp VTEC Honda installation.
How do you account for the excellent trouble-free performance of your
Rotax 912? (Or is it a 912S?) Can you describe your routine operation
and maintenance procedures and schedule? Also, can you give your max.
take off weight when you had your son and 2 aux. fuel tanks topped off?
