fly_tornado Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 add the thermostat to the oil cooler system to reduce warm up time and startup wear. air cooled engines really do need all the help they can get staying cool, especially in Aus.
David Alford Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 There are many philosophies on simple vs. less simple. Personally, I dislike carburetors and think fuel injection is the future for better reliability, eliminating carb ice, better fuel economy, etc. HKS is now offering their engine with it. I think the Rotax 912 is a fine engine, but an installation on the Bantam is unlikely. Wouldn't look as good nor as aerodynamic since there is no cowling. I'll let others debate the UL, but it made a very positive impression. Max Clear has about 250 hrs. on his and no problems at all. Jabiru has been building theirs for quite a long time and it still has problems, but overall people seem fairly satisfied.
