For those folks still trying to figure out which engine they may want to use
on the 601XL, you might want to check out the July issue of AOPA. It has an
article on the three leading engines for the LightSport
planes-----Continental O-200, Rotax 912s ,and Jabiru.

I think this is a topic that can go on for days, but I am going to give a shot. I am the owner of a CH601XL with an 0-200a. I made the decision because this engine has been around for about 50 years. Any A&P would feel comfortable working on it. If on cross county I need some service I think it would be tuff getting support for the Rotax 912 or the Jabiru.
That said I did pay the price for payload and lost some with the 0-200a. I have flown the Tecnam Echo with the 912 a lot and never once was able to check the oil. Every time I went up I had to refil with distilled water. This is a great performing engine, but I perfer the simplicity of the hor. opposed 4 of the 0-200 or the Jabiru. I feel the Jabiru is a great aircraft engine and would use it on my next project. By then there should be plenty of places to get service.
