I am finished with local rotax engines due to their mad pricing.
HKS Engine Comments
Re: HKS Engine Comments
Hi Carel,
I have done quite a few hours with an HKS and so has Craig Cuzzons from Solo Wings. He will be glad to give you all his advice but here is mine. I personally have had more engine outs in the 150 odd hours in an HKS that the 6000 thousand on Rotax and Jabi engines. Its pretty heavy and has about the same power as a 503. I think it would be a great engine for a solo micro that does comps and stuff because it is pretty fuel efficiant but I would not recomend it for a cross country 2 seat trike or anything else really. I had heating problems mostly and alot of unknow issues that one one could point their fingers on and thats what worried me the most. Now i must also add that this was all 5 years ago and alot of inovation can be achieved in that time. Are you needing an alternate engine for a trike? if so you really cannot beat the rotax and even though its expensive its the best. Now for a 3 axis there are plenty options. just my opinion. Jamie
