I have several hundreds hours on that machine, mine was powered with the Rotax 503 dual carbs 52hp.

What engine is it ? Sounds like a Rotax 2stroke but it may be the 582...

AL (from France, E-U)

This is also powered by the Rotax 503 dual carbs 52hp engine...

If that's India Juliet then my logbook shows that I have 4 flights with Mark McClelland in Feb 03 flying around Villena Sud and Benjama.

This is indeed G-MYIJ and still going strong. Nearly 3,000 hours now.

Thanks for your reply. A very reliable engine once you strip the carters and turbine and add a scoop for rear cylinder cooling... And add an electric fuel pump too...

I got my licence in Jun 03 and am now flying an Ikarus C42, Aviasud Mistral and - of course - a Cyclone AX3. You still can't beat it for a local flight on a warm sunny afternoon.
