I sure wasn't exactly taken by the sound of the first Rotax powered airplane I heard, especially being a diehard Lycoming guy, but I've come to tolerate... maybe even appreciate (gasp!) the Rotax sound. Something that immediately comes to mind is the performance by Kyle Franklin in the Speedster at OSH. While standing on the flight-line, thoroughly enjoying it, it really struck me how pleasant the sound of that little Rotax was, especially compared to the extreme noise of the typical performing aircraft during the show. I like airplane noise, but the comparison was striking, and it really was nice IMHO.
