During the short but painful time that I ran an AMW, I had many phone calls with 2SI and one of the last ones made a huge impression. I could not find my usual parts guy so I started talking with anybody who would get on the phone and this person mentioned the reason why there was NOTHING at all sophisticated (nor was the quality control worth a darn) about any aspect of this motor was that it was first designed as a one time use DRONE motor to be shot down by the armed forces (!) and somehow it got substituted in place of the original 440 motor that had been initially approved by the SCCA Comp Board. After that, I had to wait on the 493 approval before I could swap over to the Rotax. Jim ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.
