I think that is about 60 hp, not enough for the bigger Kolbs and especially out here at the High Desert with density altitudes easily in the 7-9k warmer months. You need lots of HP or a turbo charger to get it flying without sweating it in more ways than one.

There are several of us who are building and converting the Suzuki/Geo
motors for the M3X. The down side at least for me being remote from
aviation civilization is,, that I have to figure everything out and
then build it. It takes lots of time to do that. There are a couple of
folks that for a price will build you a plug and play Suzuki motor but
then you have to pay for their labor and then you are still out of
about 7k and still have to do some welding on the cage.
If you have the money get the Rotax if you don't then exchange your
labor/time for money for the Geo/zuki or another model motor.

I've heard people talk about how much more reliable 4 stroke engines
are versus the 2 stroke variety. Any truth to this? I understand the
Rotax 912 engines are very reliable. Why not more affordable 4 stroke
