They are located in Vernon, BC, Canada and I assume they are associated with Rotech Research, the Canadian Rotax distributor. There is some good information on the ROANwebsite andits a great place to get the latest versions of the service and parts manuals. As for ROANs subscription service, basically it is for access to the videos that they have started producing over the last couple of years. The videos aren't bad and theoretically updated as procedures change. I guess that the subscription fee is comparable to what CPS charges for its DVDs. Personally, I'd rather have a DVD that I can watch whenever I want and don't have to keep re-subscribing too. Doug MacDonald CH-701 from Scratch Rotax 912 UL NW Ontario, Canada Do Not Archive Time: 08:56:34 PM PST US From: Dan Wilde Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Rotax Videos I have received many emails from Rotax about videos relating to the 912. When I go to their site, all I get is a preview of the video. Maybe I am just cheap but after spending over $16,000 for their engine, I don't feel I should have to shell out more money for their videos. Am I off base?

It would be nice if Rotax made such videos or perhaps the importers to large markets like the US, but they don't to my knowledge, so Rotax-Owner saw an need and opportunity. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Truth is what stands the test of experience. - Albert Einstein Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344668#344668 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:59:05 AM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Rotax Videos From: "Roger Lee" Hi Dan, Thom's right, it is a private company and not Rotax. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
