 Posted: Tue May 19, 2009 1:51 pm Post subject: Rotax 582 Gearbox Choices |
 |
|
I found a good deal on a Rotax 582 for my Mark III project, but don't know which gearbox to pick. I definitely want electric start. Will an B, C, or E box work equally well on a Mark III? I've heard that I can only use a B box or I'll have to raise the engine mounts and the thrust line may be too high. Those of you who have (or had) 582's, what gearbox are you using and what gear ratio? Thanks.

Mark, The B box has some limits on which props you can use. Its allowable prop inertia is half that of the C and E boxes. I have a C box with a 4:00 to 1 ratio. It requires nothing special to mount and has clearance for a 68" prop.

Mark,I'm building a mark 111c at this time.My motor is a 582 that I put a e-box on.Rather then raising the motor much I changed the rear mount.I removed rear mount,took off app. 2 inches of the root tube.Put a 1/4 plate across and turned the mounts rearward so as the starter could sit between the mounts with plenty of clearance.The motor is sitting exactly the same as original.Not flying yet.Pictures attached
