Unfortunately, the "biggest" Rotax you'll get is a 914. 115 HP max
under full boost, 100 HP max otherwise. Great engine... but certainly
not enough to haul around an aircraft designed around a 6-cyl
Lycosaurus pumping out 200-260 HP.

Maybe he was thinking about the Rotax V6 which is that power range?
Don't have any info on it but it has been shown several times. High
dollar like other state of the art engines.

The Rotax 914 propels our MCR 4S four-seater at 130-140 kt at 75% power.
Empty weight is 838 lb.

Did they ever really start selling those V6 engines? I remember seeing pictures of a Piper of some sort (Arrow?) with one installed... in the "final" stages of flight testing. I think the last date I heard was 2005. Haven't seen one yet. ???

That RV-10 is a pig compared to your MCR, Gilles. Almost twice the empty weight. Great website, btw. We referenced it often when installing our 914. Keep it up!!
