However, I really hate the dykes rings that Rotax use. So much so that I'll be using an aircooled Kawasaki 440 snowmobile engine on my miniMax. The miniMax is 80 complete with 90% to go (honest - right Ed). My problem (other than finding the time to finish the airplane) is the Mickey Mouse redrive; I think that I'm going to need some engineering help on this thing before I dare fly it.
