Hey all,
This is probably a huge newbie question, but here goes...
Is it possible/practical to use a Rotax engine (unsure of model) in an RV8 that would give you similar (if not better) performance as comparible to the IO-360 that seems typical? Is it more cost effective? I am sure that as with most things there are many pros and cons from ethier side of the fence.
My curiosity was peaked when I saw an FPNA (Float Planes and Amphib"s) Cape Town (granted light sport catagory and all) that was getting some incredible performance with (usually cheaper) MoGas, and was informed that they have a 6 cyl. model that might be an attractive option.
I realize that I may be putting the cart way before the horse here as I am still trying to find a way to fund my entry into this amazing world of RV's.
Thanks you in advance for your time and replies!
Keith G.
