From: "lownslow" Hi there I'm a newbie to the list and don't know that I've quite figured out how to search the archives for this question. But i am wondering if anyone has used a Rotax 670 from Rotax Rick to power their Mk III Classic. I'm in Colorado and need the extra HP but can't quite bring myself to break the bank for a 912. Seems like Rick has them priced well. Would love to hear the experience folks have with this aircraft/engine combination Many thanks!
