On particular aircraft series sold in the USA I am aware of that uses Type Certified Rotax engines is the Aeromot Ximango motorglider. (pronounced "she-mongo") The AMT 100 Ximango uses the 80 hp 912, the AMT 200S Super Ximango uses the 100 hp 912s, and AMT300 Ximango Shark uses the 115 hp turbo 914. All three airframes are identical except for the engine. Ximangos are Type Certified in the USA (and 26 other countries), and most were built with type certified Rotax 9XX engines in them. I was told by the owner of Aeromot when I visited the factory last year that the only exceptions were for about 8-10 of the very earliest versions which were built with the Limbach VW derivative. Aeromot changed to the Rotax early on after having severe issues with shock cooling on the Limbach. (cracked heads, cranks and cylinders). To my knowledge there is one Ximango flying with a Jabiru 3300 engine (IIRC in Australia) and it is one of the earlier ones that was originally built with the Limbach.
