Hi All

I'm starting to look at engine options for my XS Trigear.

Rotax 912 ULS looks a great option (factory supported and well understood)
apart from the cost.

Aeromomentum claim they have a 100hp engine that is only 5 pounds heavier
than a Rotax 912 ULS and lighter than a 914.  Claimed TBO is 1500 hours.

The conversion is based on a new Suzuki engine and has fuel injection so no
carb balancing required.

I understand the Europa is quite sensitive to engine weight but as there
are quite a few 914 powered machines and this is lighter than a 914 then it
should be OK.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with any experience with Aeromomentum or
with Europa experience with non Rotax engines.


Thanks
Graeme
