procharger Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 They want to sell engines should reduce price no way it cost as much as a car to build a dam engine. I will keep running mine to 3000 hrs at 2000 now, checked compression today all were 178 -180 been that number for years no change. Again BS.

Anticept Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Welcome to building and machining everything by hand in a high liability, low volume industry. You're paying a lot of lawyers for their time first and foremost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Too many middle men too and they all want a big markup. Markups from the factory to you are huge and for each dealer in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I received a price quote of $22,893 earlier this week for a 912ULS. I have two engines on order for customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 They may have already had the less expensive engines in stock. The guy who told me about the price hike was just ordering a new one. Motive Aero quoted the new price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredG Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Time for the experimental aircraft community to look at Yamaha or other snowmobile/motorcycle engines, among others. Aeromomentum is building Suzuki automobile engines for aviation use and they are being put into Zenith and other aircraft. The best way to tame Rotax price hikes is for them to have some competition.

Madhatter Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Aeromomentum 100 hp is very interesting at $10,000. Probably being the "A" model is not the one to have yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
