Hi,
I am currently flying a 2008 H. Mine has a 2200 Jab up front, so I’ll let more experienced Rotax drivers advise re the engine. If the airframe has always been hangared, then the frame should be sound, but it’s easy to take a peek in the fuselage and wings to check. ?In the UK we have had some engine mount cracking around the welds, but again, that was probably the Jab mount.
Two types of fabric coverings were available, one was Mylar, which has a glossy covering with visible lines woven in it every 1/2 inch or so and the other was Dacron (I think) which has a matt finish. ?I have Mylar and it has always been hangared and is still in almost new condition with more hours on it than the one you’re looking at. ?The thing to check on the fabric, is the stitching - make sure it’s all in good condition and not disintegrating. For the fabric there is a Betts Test to check the actual strength of the fabric - google will be your friend here. ?New sails are available from 3rd parties, depending on which continent your on.
These planes are easy to look after, fly and maintain - there’s not much that’s hidden away!
Hope this helps.
Ian
