Following up on an innovative trade-in program for Rotax
two-stroke engine program, a new and far more aggressive version of
that effort has just been announced. Engines traded in under this
program will not be rebuilt, reused, or put back into service.
Their serial numbers will be taken out of service as aircraft
engines. Rotax hopes that the result will deplete the sport
aviation market of old, tired, and worn-out "rebuilt" or
"overhauled" engines.
Rob Logan and Mike Mahar of Cleveland (OH) will race Tweety Bird
in the upcoming US Air Race national competition. Named for its
brilliant yellow color, the Lancair Legacy 2000's speed will be
equalized making the race a test of pilot skills. Rob and Mike will
join in the celebration of the 75th anniversary of cross country
air racing.
