| Subject: | LSA/4 stroke rotax |
--> AnPMech-List message posted by: robert bean <slyck@frontiernet.net>
Howdy gents, about time a subject got started here to see if anyone
still
looks. If you look at the majority of new factory built LSAs, they
all have
one thing in common -the Rotax 912. As an A&P I have very little
experience
with them and figure that to be a like condition with most A&Ps.
Now that we can, by default, sign off the annual condition inspections
on
a raft of new craft, what is your opinion of the need to attend a Rotax
school to insure a safe inspection?

Bob,
I think attending a school or seminar on these engines is a excellent idea.
As with the Cont and Lyco engines, the Rotax have their own quirks that need
looking after, especially in the gearbox.
The Katana's used by flight schools had the 912 and the later models changed
to the Cont. There was one local a few years back and it went through a
couple of gearboxes before finding out that the students were shutting down the
engine at a lower rpm than recomended causing excessive gear chatter/backlash.
Another area they had problems with was the lack of safety wiring and
locknuts. The factory had used threadlocker to some extent that was being degraded
by engine heat causing assemblies to loosen and leak. Maybe the later versions
have corrected this.
Not only will we be seeing the 912's, but also the 914's with the turbo's as
well as the 2 strokes that are used on many of the "fat" and "2 place"
ultralights that will be registering as E-SLA.
I've been lucky to have a good Powered Parachute instructor/dealer on the
field that attended a rotax school for the 2 strokes and has his certificate.
We've spent a bit of time together while he is doing the maintenance on them,
and I can tell you that they are certainly going to create revenue for any shop
that can do the work.
My 2 cents,
Ed
