Hi Jason:



Thanks for the advice.  I did a search on "jason omelchuck" and came 

up with 210 archived msgs.



You mentioned the fuel injected BMW had oil cooled heads.  A lot of 

the folks refer to the 912 series engines as watercooled.  The heads 

are primarily oil cooled and secondarily water cooled.  Cylinders are 

air cooled.



Hopefully, the extra horses you squeezed out of the BMW will make it a 

viable engine for the mkIII.  Rotax is a very expensive option and 

getting more expensive every day.  However, they do have a good 

reliable product, but would be a whole lot more fun to fly on a 

smaller budget.



With engine prices, fuel, and insurance, doesn't take long to eat up a 

small retirement budget.



Take care and thanks for the info,



john h
