The Geo/Suzuki one litre engine weighs a little more than a Rotax 582, it produces 62 HP normally aspirated but with a better, flatter torque curve. Both bolt on gearbox and cog belt redrives and all other aircraft conversion parts are available for very reasonable cost. Turbo versions are available also. Gearbox type redrives for around US$1750- The Geo/Suzuki engine uses about half the fuel that the two stroke engines use. The 1.3 litre four cylinder Suzuki engine beats the Rotax 912 in power and weight, again both gearbox and belt type redrives are available. All those advantages plus flying engines with the hours up to prove them and last but not lease, far, far cheaper than a Rotax. There is a Yahoo group about these fantastic little engines used in aircraft, it is a very active and helpful group. One person on the group has over 1000 hours on one installation. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FlyGeo_uncensored Back to top Nathan Guest Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 11:28 pm    Post subject: Re: Light weight low cost four stroke engines, good Rotax re and what does that have to do with a hot air balloon ?
