I see that the CZAW Sport Cruiser has the option of the Rotax or the Jabiru engine. Does anyone know the pros and cons of these engines?
Thanks,

Jabiru requires Avgas 100LL and the Rotax can use Premium auto fuel.
Rotax takes less time to complete 100 hour inspections. |

Actually the Jabiru is no harder to keep cool than a Lycoming, or any other air cooled engine. It also can use auto fuel just like the Rotax and is much easier to service due to less parts. |
