Freighting an engine from the USA?

[Riley]

Just on the engine, forgot to say: as well as being 10kg lighter & electric start, the MZ also makes 30% more power than the Rotax 503. (And this is reportedly borne out in real world experience rather than ideal dyno numbers). (Sorry, I just really like my new engine.)

Given that the R503 is no longer available from Rotax, it will be interesting to hear your critique on the MZ once you've had time to 'shake it down'. Keep us posted. cheers Riley

I do love it when a woman is the main man.

Hi Soleair,

 

Thanks for the first hand report, there are a few engines out there but not much in the way of direct comparisons.

 

Did you consider the Hirth range?

 

If so what do you see as the advantages of the MZ?

 

Thanks

Hi daza

 

So as not to steal Scotty's thread, I'll reply in a new post under the Engines forum.
