With history and performance in mind the Rotax has it. For unequaled expense and basic cost it also has it. Gear box issues starter and sprague clutch and fuel pumps have been Rotax's problems and my friends have spent thousands repairing them on the S models especially
On the Kolbs, a flat four is most practical,in cowled aircraft,the Viking Hondas are a great alternative at fractions on the cost. The D motor and the new V 4 are unproven but promising. I could maintain a 470 continental for less than a 912 uls.

Only 2 of us in our group are flying Jabiru's. One , a 3300 has fought heat and carb issues in a 601xlb. My own 2200 early serial#1295 solid lifter has been pretty good so far, nothing but routine maintainence caps rotors plugs but it only has 930 hrs so not much history,but I believe a lot of engine issues are owner induced. Just my 2 cents worth
