Hello
I am new on this forum and i have a question about the Rotax 618
I have bought a kitfox 3 without engine and now i can buy a new 618,very cheap.
Does anyone have experience with this type?
is it a good engine or should I look for a 582 blue head?
Thanks

The 618 is a great engine=2C a few more horse power than the 582 and will
get you off the ground to altitude quicker than the 582. I flew behind a 5
82 on a kitfox 3 for 450 hours and my flying buddy flys a kitfox 3 with the
618. He always beats me in climb. The only thing to watch are the rayvalv
es(sp?). It is important to maintain them properly and timely. Other thn th
at go for it

Hello,
This is Bill Catalina with 31 years experience flying these things. I flew
the 618 on a Buccaneer I had a while back. In my humble opinion, it's labor
intensive & sucks gas like an M-1 tank sucks JP-4. It does put out more hp
but just not worth the extra trouble in my opinion....UNLESS...you can get
it at a very low price, use it & trade it later for a 582.
