I do not own a ROTAX Manual. Is that ALL 503/582 & 912 engines? Does the manual give a reason(s)? What has to be done to make it legal for night flying?

Why would Rotax put such limits o n their engines? Liability. Lawyers. Need I say more? :) Again I it's on an experimental, you can ignore what Rotax wants. - Bob Comperini On Jun 16, 2012, at 5:44 AM, FLYaDIVE wrote: > Bob: > > Thanks for the response, but could you go a bit further?
