 When you guys take off on a whole new thread it  would be best to change the subject line.

  

 Also just looked at Rotax 503 engine/redrive prices  they are in the $6-7 thousand range depending on options and the 912 is closer  to $20,000. Wow. We really need a Rotax alternative.

Ah yes, you're right.  wilco on that in future.....



Yes, the 503 is beginning to approach being impractical in terms of cost, but is still a good deal especially with the B box, compared to the competitors. The 582, IMO, is no longer cost effective. too close to the good competitors like the HKS whose purchase price isn't that much more and which seems to have lower long-term costs.



The 912 was borderline, IMO, until they raised the TBO which put it back in the (upper end of) the good deal range.



Yes we desperately need good competitors, especially to the 912 in the 80-100HP range......

Eggenfelner is working on a conversion using a Honda engine - don't know if that's the same one? They've been pretty successful with the Subaru, so maybe they can make the Honda work. My guess is it's still a good ways off tho....
