Carl, Yes that was really helpful, exactly what I wanted many thanks - I will
check
out the links you provided.
I am not knocking Skydrive as I know that it is Rotax themselves who, in effect,
control the spares prices- I checked with a couple of overseas Rotax
distributors
and the prices are much the same.
I am still recovering from seeing 662 for a few rubber hoses and a handful of
other
bits. That would keep me in fuel for a whole year's flying.
