Hi Fred F.,
In comment to my post, you write:

Well...shoot me! :)
My use of the word "record" was just to the postings on our little Europa
forum...postings of particular interest as they reflect the Europa/Rotax
combination, rather than the Rotax itself and whatever quirks it may pick up
in combo w/ other aircraft.
It was not my intention to make any comparison with nonaircraft engines
(particularly those with, thus far, only prototypical histories), or
Lycomings for that matter...I actually thought I was simply stating a fact
about which there would be no disagreement. I'll be much more careful w/ my
words in the future.
And...for the record...ever since I tapped into the Europa list, I've read
your postings w/ great interest and appreciation for your obvious broad and
deep technical knowledge and experience...thanks for being willing to share
it on this forum!
Fred K.
