Jim,
I'm interested in your results with the extended mount and how happy you are with the Rotax also. Fuel prices are sure effecting my decision on what engine to use.

For the short time you have had your Rebel in the air you have put a lot of
hours on it. I guess it safe to assume that your 3" extended motor mount
is
working out just fine. Not knowing what your Empty Wt. and CG turned out to
be? My question is; if I am able to install a Rotax would you recommend the
same set up if my Rebel is certified at 1,320 Lbs?
