? Engine swap Rotax 100 for 80

[Slyfox]

If you want to get the most out of your 80 rotax on your model 4, put the prop that I have for sale on it and you will get up to that 110mph. I know, I had it on my 80 model 4 and it did move right along. I have the IVO patriot ultra light prop in excellant condition for 700 dollars, it's yours if you want it. You pay the shipping.

I did switch to the rotax 100 and I might have gained 3mph on the top end, the biggest change is the take off. I ended up putting on the medium IVO that's why the old one is for sale. It's is a straight across switch out, no suprises. Same engine, just more juice.

Hi Steve
And thanks for the info on the engine swap. And the prop. The plane I have been talking about, has the long wing, so I woud expect it to be a little slower than your Speedster.
And I would think that the prop may be considered a cruise prop, so you pay a penalty on t/o performance.
Usuall everything is some kind of trade off.

THe prop is an inflight adjustable, so it is both cruise and take off prop. I originally had the long wing on my aircraft and when I shortened the wings I didn't notice too much gain on cruise with the short wing. I've had the plane for 5 years and about 1300 hrs now.
