HI Craig, while the Rotax has and is still enjoying a great reputation in the 701 series i thas not becoem the engine of choice in the U.S. for the 601 and 650 series, that honor went to the Jabiru 3300. While the Rotax was not popular in th eU.S. it still was in both Europe and in Canada. The 750 Rotax FWF is a derivitive of that kit manufactured in Canada by Zenair. I am ht efirt to install one in a 750 and so far everythign is going well, there are very minor changes needed for the 750 over…

I am ht efirt to install one in a 750 and so far everythign is going well, there are very minor changes needed for the 750 over the 650 but I am very happy with how it is going together so far. You will see more information on the installation soon, through this blog then on the Can-Zac Website.<br />

So is the motor mount and FWF kit from Zenith? Was it designed for the 601 or the 750? I've poked around the Zenith/USA site and they don't seem to offer a 601/Rotax FWF kit.

I would love to say I have a large group here to help but I am afraid it is just me pretty much. My wife has been in a couple of times to do some de-burring, but she has also just had carpel tunnel surgery and is unable to do anything Quickly. But I think the world of her, I could see her wince a few times while running the file and she just kept on trying, I actually had to step in a few times to have her sit down, as she has had a knee replacement recently and is still recovering from that…
I would love to say I have a large group here to help but I am afraid it is just me pretty much. My wife has been in a couple of times to do some de-burring, but she has also just had carpel tunnel surgery and is unable to do anything Quickly. But I think the world of her, I could see her wince a few times while running the file and she just kept on trying, I actually had to step in a few times to have her sit down, as she has had a knee replacement recently and is still recovering from that also . I have tried to find reasons for her to stay home or when at the hanger to just sit in the chair and read her book. I have had a couple of people in and I put them to work pulling rivets, this actually costs me time as I will not do anything else but watch over them and talk about construction. They feel great for having helped me and they truly enjoy it. So do I, once again watching someone realize that they can in fact do the job is just a treat.<br />
