Thanks to those of you who responded to my recent posting. This is
a very useful way of carrying on the discussions that one needs in
making a decision as to what plane to build.
Some references were made to the Subaru conversion as an alternative
to the Rotax. Questions are:
1) Has anyone completed an installation of this engine?
2) Does it fit in the standard cowling?
3) Does the factory endorse such a modification? It seems to me that
I've heard that they are "looking at" alternative engines.
I'd also like to ask those of you that are well along in your kits to
estimate about how much of the overall build time will be filling and
sanding the wing and tail surfaces. The tedium of that process could
be the thing that makes me become a tin bender rather than an expoxy
slosher.
