I weighing my options for engines right now and would like some input
from those who are doing the same or have already made their decision.

I'm considering the big 3 and leaning towards the 3300. Seems like the
best cost/weight/power/ease of installation combination.

Looking forward to any comments except that I should retire this list
and post somewhere else. Smile

Engine choice is very personal, and I encourage you to do what is best for
your situation.... But if it were my choice I would use an O-200. Reliable,
proven, available, sometimes cheap. their low-revving power is ideal for a
draggy slow aircraft.

Recommend you look over the Jabiru list archives before making your decision. I fournd it to be an eye opener.

Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I looked at the O200 lightweight that Zenith lists and the cost and the
fact that they don't have a FWF kit pushed me towards the 3300. I
looking for as much of a "tab A in slot B" assembly process as I can find.

Rereading my last post I should have said Rotax, Jab, and Cont because
those are the ones that seem to have been developed for the 750.

There are apparently a number of FWF packages from the factory that for some
reason are not listed on the web site (Rotax for one). Give them a call.

I understand, there is where the "best for your situation" comes in. One can
get uncertified O-200's or ones in need of service or in unknown condition
so inexpensively that I could never overlook them. They are simple in the
extreme and easy to service. If you cannot achieve the "extremely
inexpensive" position with it then other options become more attractive.

Craig,

Thanks for the reply.

I emailed about it and they offer a cowl and engine mount for the O200,
they have a full FWF for the 3300, and I'll have to do some more digging
about the rotax.

My 1st choice is Corvair, but I'm concerned about how the use of an auto
conversion will affect the resale value, if it comes to that. My future
is unpredictable, so if I am going to move forward facing that
unpredictability I want to have selling as an option.

I'm afraid you have to put resale value aside, regardless of your engine
choice. Look through Branstormers and there are all kinds of experimentals
for sale at below what the builders have in them.

Also (having owned but not flown Corvair, Jabiru and Rotax engines on Zenith
aircraft) you will have a hard time meeting your desire for a "tab A in slot
B" FWF. You can get close but if you read through the engine-specific lists
you see a lot of tinkering is required. Part of this is the "Internet
effect" - only those with problems post messages. But none of these FWF kits
are a slam-dunk. On the Jabiru you get to fiddle with the cooling and carb.
In a slow flying plane like the 750 cooling is an issue. If you ask William
Wynne I don't think he ever achieved adequate cooling on the Corvair-powerd
701.

I'm putting a Rotax on my 701 but it might be underpowered for the 750. Of
course I live at 7000 ft and am surrounded by 10,000 ft peaks so I am more
sensitive to power needs.

Also pay attention to weight and balance. Getting accurate data is hard but
with the wrong engine you can end up with a plane that is not very useful.
The best thing to do is get real W&B numbers from flying 750.

If I was in your shoes and expected to fly below 5000 ft I would look hard
at the Rotax. There is a lot of plumbing to hook up. But it is light, there
are thousands flying and it will run cool at low speeds. I know of two that
have flown around the world (one with legs of 23+ hours).

If you choose to build a non-LSA 750 (via the new gross limit) you will have
more choices. But I suspect that a non-LSA 750 would be harder to sell.

If your future is uncertain then rent. You can get a lot of hours in a
Cessna 150 for the price of a 750.

This is what Jon Croke wrote about the factory FWF packages for the 750 in
September:

"I just called Zenith and talked to Shirley... I didn't realize it was not
listed on the website - you are correct - I could not find it either!

It IS available directly from Zenith (manufactured by Zenair, not Can-zac)
for the current price of $6125.

Also, the Jabiru FWF is now to be purchased directly from Zenith, as well as
the Continental (but that one is only prop, mount, baffle)

Of course, the Rotax engine is available from Zenith... but just like
seafood, the price is "market price" - ask your waiter."

Craig,

You bring up some interesting points. Unfortunately, renting a 150 isn't
and option. I'll keep doing my research.

Does anybody know right off hand if Zenith usually has any show specials
at Air Venture? Same question for Rotax, Jab, and Cont.

I'm in the same spot trying to decide which engine. I'm not far along in my build so I have some time. I'm leaning toward the 3300 as well. Seems like a good bang for the buck. I have read most of the issues owners have had and have heard that the new cowl fixes most of the cooling issues. I have a friend flying a 3300 in a Bush Caddy and he loves it.

Hard to beat the reliability and reputation of an 0200, but 3300 weighs less with more power too.

The Rotax seems like a good option, but pricy to buy, pricy to maintain. I'm taking 2 Rotax classes in late February maybe I will feel differently after.

Anyone on the list have a flying 750?
What are you running?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

From what I've read it sounds like Jab knows what the solution is. The
problem is whether or not it can be implemented. My gut feeling is that
Zenith has the problem solved or they wouldn't be advertising it as a
designed to fit option.

People are talking about the O200. The one Zenith lists on their web
site it the NEW O200 Lightweight. New from Cont. for the lsa market.
Cont has a good rep but is seems like there's usually a few bugs in any
new product. Zenith doesn't have a FWF package yet but they say they
are developing one.

I'm not in a big hurry to make a decision myself. I'm hoping to decide
by Oshkosh and maybe be able to take advantage of a show special.

I'd be interested to hear what you think after your classes. I've heard
rumors that you have to take a class to work on your engine, even if
it's in an experimental.

The price of the Rotax and the Jabiru tend to be driven by the exchange rate
of the Euro and the Aus dollar, respectively.

The price of a Jabiru may be going up as Jabiru itself and the company that
actually makes the engine (www.camit.net) are located in Bundaberg,
Australia and probably under water from the massive flooding.

Raymond,

I'm building a 750 and have started rebuilding a Corvair engine for mine. Go
to FlyCorvair.com, which is William Wynne's site and the person who has been
working with these engines for aviation use for possibly two decades. My
reasons are that the engine has a mature history and the kinks have been
worked out for aviation use. It is very close to the same weight as an
O-200, air cooled, and direct drive. I'm not going this route, but you can
buy a complete firewall forward package from William Wynne - engine mount to
propeller - although he usually encourages people to build their own in
keeping with experimental aviation's educative principle. It is cheaper than
a certified engine to purchase and the long-term running costs will be
significantly better. Because complete firewall forward development has
been done, it makes completion that much more straightforward for builders
like myself, because I don't have to reinvent the wheel. (I'm not getting
anything for this mention, by the way.)

I have a couple of Corvairs and a manual sitting here. I was planning on
using one in a 750 when I started. I'm not sure how having an auto
conversion will affect my resale, If I have to sell it.

Sorry about letting that "Probable Spam" in the subject line of my last post live on!
Some email servers add that to the subject to flag possible spam. I should have noticed it
and removed it (which I have now done).
