Hi,

I've come to understand and truly believe that the Rotax 912 is a truly tried, tested and proven reliable engine.
What is the consensus on 2 Strokes e.g. 447?
The Wikipedia page on the 447 shows a disclaimer that Rotax gives with its 447 engine.
It inspires no confidence.

Is it really that bad or are they just covering their butts?

Thanks?
