Ira, I looked at a couple of service bullitens with my free re-registration two
days ago. The only thing that Rotax Owner appears to be charging for is there
educational videos. This should be okay with everyone since you would have
to pay for this kind of video from anyone else (Lockwuod, CPS, etc).
As for which product lines are supported by Rotec... Rotec is the Canadian distributor
and Kodiak is the US distributor. Rotec supports the complete line of
Rotax aircraft engines sold in Canada. Kodiak supports the comeplete line of
Rotax engines sold in the US.

Hi Doug,
The videos were actually free for roughly two years.
As for Kodiak, if you look at the Rotax Owners site, they explicitly state that
Kodiak only handles uncertifed engine sales and now Rotec handles
all certified engine sales in North America. Perhaps the site is in error?

Let me know please, not that I would consider buying a "certified" engine

Ira,
Go to Dubai and jump from the highest tower in the world. You will fly for
free, save your engine as well as your aircraft; but don't ask for a SB
afterwards.

H Karel,
Very kind of you to chirp in.
Let me know when you learn to use the web properly instead of
needlessly copying prior quotes
