 Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2015 2:11 pm Post subject: Rotax 582 Performance on Xtra |
 |
|
I would like your experience to help me make a decision. I have a brand-new Rotax 582 in my shop with all the periphials. I'm trying to decide whether to build an Xtra and install this 582 or purchase an Xtra with another engine. Given that more power is always better, I'd like to get your general opinion on whether the 582 would be sufficient at 1000 pounds take off weight. I know this depends on many factors, altitude, preferred cruise, grass versus hard surface, etc. However just want your general opinion. I'll be at sea level on a 4000 foot hard surface primarily. Take off distance and climb rate would be helpful.
Thanks for your time and input,
Dee

Hello Dee,
I have a Mark 111c that I built with a 582 . Flew it one year with that engine and found a salvage Mark111 with a 912 ul 80 hp. Switched the motors and never regretted it. The 582 will fly the plane okay but with two people I had to run high rpm to keep the plane flying. Burns lots of fuel that way. 912 burns about 4 gallon per hour, 582 burned 5 1/2 to 6 gallon two people. 912 is also 4 stroke, no mixing oil.Love the Rotax 912.

Good comparison . . . thanks for your input . . . I’m looking at the Xtra on Barnstormers now (80hp Jaburi; but it’s been wreaked). Bought my current MkIII from Frank Clark in Washington State . . . he disguised the damage and now I have a unusable Mk3 cage and a new motor (582) on my hands. Dee LeBlanc
