I didn't shut the engine off. The opportunity to test this theory presented itself at about 1800 AGL. It glides noticeably better with the prop stopped.

Very nice interior and panel.

Hello Mark,

The only snowmobile I know of in Arkansas is out behind my neighbors house. It will be years before he finds out the engine is missing.

I have been warned, but I am a rebel.

I am currently planning to use a Rotax 583 snowmobil ...

I just went through the same situation two weeks ago. I drilled out the rivets and installed a new "L" 5mm farther forward, through the same holes. This left a gap of only 5mm. The rivets ...

Greetings Gentlemen,
