Matt is very accommodating.



I assume it is because no one has asked him...

True.  No one every asked for a Rotax List.  Seems like a great idea.  I'll be adding a couple of other lists as well, hopefully this weekend, and I will add a "rotax-list" to the line up.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Here on Matronics there is a list for just about every obscure model of

aircraft you can think of, and there is even a Jabiru list,  so why is there

no Rotax list ??? [Crying or Very sad]     



More of us use Rotax than all other engines put together, I would really

like to see a Rotax List.   Does anyone know why the never made a Rotax List

??

Thats awesome Matt     I figured I would have to email you, then get a petition with 20,000 signatures or something      But just getting it done like this is greaet.   There seem to be a lot of engine questions.  The Rotax is such a common engine that im sure all the different aircraft types are asking the same questions in a bunch of different places.  Putting everyones Rotax engine knowlege in one place should be a benefit to us all.



Really great idea on creating the "Forum" format for all the lists.  I was giong to email you and suggest that, but you beat me to it      Only question is are you ready for your list volume to go up about 1000 % , im betting the forum format will make this grow beyond your wildest dreams !!  Thanks for everything.

Say, let's have a MkIIIc forum, and a MkIIIx forum, and a Firestar

forum, and a Firefly forum, oops, nearly forgot, a Firestar 2 forum,

and maybe a Kolb-gear-leg forum....  bleh



Diluting the topics is NOT a good idea.

That is a bad example,  im not proposing a breakup of an existing forum into different forums as you so wronfully imply.  I am saying we should bring all the Rotax engine knowlege together in ONE forum.   Currently, Rotax engine information is spread out among all the different ultralight types, when a huge amount of Rotax engine info could be brought together in one place.



This would unite the Rotax engine info, NOT break it up into seperate areas as you so wrongfully imply with your example.

Once again people just don't get it. 



I believe the Rotax list would not be for JUST Kolb. If I'm not mistaken

don't other aircraft use Rotax engines????  I could be wrong!

Hi Mike. There's already an engine forum on Matt's list.  Maybe it needs spruced up a bit.?  There is some really good info there.  It dosent have the traffic like the plane forums but engine guru's do check it once in a while.

Hi Robert,

that was my first reaction but all you have to do is subscribe to the new 

list and all the posts will come up on screen with all your other lists.

Sorting through archives should be easier too as everything on one subject 

will be together in one archive.



I would not like the list to get too attenuated though. A lot of peripheral 

things which crop up prove to be very interesting.



Cheers



Pat

Hey Matt & All

If you create a list for Rotax - you might want to make one for 2 

strokes and one for 4 strokes - helps thin done the weeding area if 

your looking for information and you only need monitor only what 

pertains to your interest.

Thanks,

jerb

I have to agree with Mike on this one.   The Rotax list should be for ALL types of rotax engines.  I fully agree with the spirit of not fragmenting the list to much, because a list with no activity is no fun.  The Whole reason I suggested a dedicated Rotax list is to bring everyone together, not to seperate them.   



I looked at all the lists, and the ones with the most activity, Kolb, Kitfox, and Zenith.  They ALL use lots of rotax engines, so if we could get twice the number of people talking and reading about Rotax engines, that would be great.  Right now, we have to search 3 lists to cover the entire Rotax community.



Time will tell, I hope it catches on, but in the end it will be the users that will determine if its a success or not.
