Re: Re?: Re: [XAIR] Hanuman bungee
It would be really nice if Rotax sold (or gave away) their plans to a manufacturer who was prepared to re-start production of 582 or 618 motors. Get Outlook for

Re: Re?: Re: [XAIR] Hanuman bungee
Hello Justin, the problem is when we are talking about all of these engines they are simply too heavy for the standard X-Air aircraft. You are limited in weight to the equivalent of the Rotax 618/582

Re: replacement engine
I think that Aeromomentum engine looks like a fine option. It's a little heavier than the Rotax 912 I believe but could still work. The thing about the X-Air standard (much preferred over the X-Air F
