Sounds interesting, but apart from lower fuel consumption (maybe) , I
wonder if this engine would indeed be any cheaper to run than a
Lycoming.
Recent enquiries by myself has revealed that a 914 Turbo (110hp) has a
close to A$18000 parts list for a 1200hr o'haul.
A new 914 Turbo is approx $3.
And what would the equivalent price list be for a Lycoming overhaul?

The Rotax is a very good engine but why all the
sudden interest, Autotug has done it all, can someone tell me what's
wrong with the concept or why no interest in Autotug. The following are some
figures.
1. The engine (an automotive V6) is now fast closing
in on 500 hours.
2. It is fi
Dave,
I just finished a 2 year stint on our club's commitee

concluded that financial support from the clubs was

I thought the problem was certification of the production engine and the
difficulty of doing an STC for a production airframe with an uncertified
engine?

for an auto engine for dedicated glider tugs. The cost is not excessive,
estimated to be from $20,000 to $50,000 (about the price of one Lyco
