ROTAX ENGINE CONFIGURATOR

ROTAX has just released a new state-of-the art online engine configuration tool. Using this tool, you can load an accurate 3D model of a current production engine, and experiment with all the various configuration options. The model can be rotated and zoomed on-screen, and as you change the various options, the total weight of the engine is updated and displayed in realtime! When you have it configured just as you like it, you can then email yourself a link to download a PDF of the configuration (and optionally you can pass it to ROTAX to have your local authorized ROTAX dealer follow up on it with you.)

Rotax 912ULS powered Kitfox V Pre-Buy inspection report

Experts agree that a used aircraft should be inspected by a qualified technician before negotiating the final selling price. Even if you are a mechanically inclined pilot, the excitement of buying an aircraft can cause people to get caught up in the emotions and can lead to missed mechanical, cosmetic and safety issues during visual inspections and test flights. There is a lot to consider when inspecting an aircraft: the FAA has published the comprehensive Advisory Circular AC 43.13-1B which weighs in at 646 pages!  

We have produced a video segment in which we cover important information you need to know when doing a pre-purchase inspection on a Rotax powered aircraft. (You can CLICK THIS LINK to view the final inspection report.)
