    [quote=Lynn Matteson;5032]
    If 80% of the LSA's sold are Rotax-powered, maybe it's because they've been selling that engine longer than the others.

    I've also heard that Rotax gives the dealer a better percentage of each sale than Jabiru does. To me, that's a pretty poor excuse for promoting the use of a Rotax engine [quote]

    Lynn, It is closer to about 90% to 95%. The Jabiru is an alternative choice on some and was available at the beginning of S-LSA for manufactures to choose.

    Wherever you get your information regarding percentages is flat wrong... We offer both Rotax and Jabiru, as well as Continental, Lycoming and can offer Rotec Radial. They are all about equal.

    Whatever powerplant one chooses to fly behind.. be safe and thank you for flying a Kitfox !!
