Hi, I'm planning on resuming construction on a FP-202 that me and my dad were working on a couple of years ago, needing some help.
The plans for the 202 seem to be silent as far as engine and the drive system, other than advertising buying a Hirth from FFP, so I'm trying to figure out what I need for my aircraft.

I'm planning on using a Rotax 277. My other choice was the Hirth f-33 which from what I've read has really bad vibration problems, the reason I'm going for the Rotax. Any opinions on this?
Has anyone dealt with this website or know if they're reputable? - New and used engines

What gearbox or belt drive is best for the 202 with the Rotax? Where can I get one?

Also, any idea what I need to get as far as a prop?
