The AvWeb.com site has a good video showing how our engines are made. Good stuff.

Wonder if ???
Wonder if they are doing some r&d on a larger generator/alternator? Would be nice if they could find a way to kick it up a bit in order to increase the margin. Also, maybe they could produce a few thousand more gaskets for those who are flying and need them for 25/50/100 hr service/inspections. How hard could it be to make enough gaskets for routine use by the thousands???? who are flying their engines. Or is it just a distribution problem? If it is a distribution problem then why is it a distribution problem?
Do the flyers need to 'hoard' commonly used parts, etc when they can get them?
Come on, Rotax, wake up and send us the parts that we need.

Just amazing that a handful of folks assemble and test EVERY engine!
There is of course an external alternator available (40A) but it is extra weight and space.
As for parts - we don't have an issue in the UK obtaining spares. Surely, if the dealers order the spares then they would have them in stock?
I was lucky to spend a day at the Rotax factory a couple of years ago - it is a very impressive set up.
