This was my initial engine choice, a BMW RS1000 motorcycle engine.

The prop would be driven through a Rotax B gearbox.

Here the gearbox has been mounted. It was then sold when the opportunity arose to buy a Rotax 912S.

The Rotax 912S loaded in our Jeep in Um Al Quain in the United Arab Emirates where it was purchased.
