 ......... the wilksch is a direct drive engine unlike the rotax that is 
geared. That means out of the quoted 120hp that the engine is rated at, you 
will only get approximately 80% of the total power since there a loss  
through the drive train etc. Talk to Donald Francis, chief PFA engineer and 
he will explain all to you. Talked to him in detail about this.
