For those with Rotax 582 w/C-Box knowledge. is there a gasket or O-ring to seal where the gearbox mates with the engine block/case? I see what looks like an O-ring in some illustrations, but not in others.

From: Richard Girard No, the mating surface there is dry. All that's in that section is the donut and the connecting shafts between the crankshaft and the gearbox.

It should go really cheap. I am toying with the idea of adding to my still in work Mk III project. I know that several folks on the list have a really good knowledge of the regs and actual implementation regarding E-LSA and ask for a little insight on the applicable rules. The owner at the time of the mishap, who may or may not have been the initial builder, bought new cage, LG legs, and tail boom to repair, then decided not to proceed and the hole package ended up in the hands of a local club. They now have decided not to pursue the rebuild..... so...Can this airplane ever legally fly ? There appears to be clean paperwork on ownership of the original kit and the repair parts. Can one rebuild like a certified aircraft based on a data plate.... of another damaged N# Firestar aircraft and then fly off the experimental hours with the combined parts I guess is my basic question? Alternatively any ideas on how one would pitch the FSDO or local DAR on the new parts plus original kit to get a fresh Experimental certificate?
