Here is a Rotax 532 engine we took in trade for an HKS 700-e. It was originally installed on a Kitfox Model II Amateur Built Airplane. This is pretty much just as received. We did go over the top end to assure there are no surprises there, then set it up on this test bed for a brief run. It is a 521CC 65HP Rotary Valve 2 stroke, with Bosch Breaker Ignition, Rotax Electric Start, 2.58 to 1 Rotax gear box. The exhaust system pictured is our test stand exhaust. The original Rotax Kitfox exhaust will go with the engine when sold.
Kitfox are the best bang for the buck. Used market is full of them for a fraction of the new kit price. If you want to build great, but realize that the market value will be 1/3 to one half of kit cost. John McBean builds a great product.
