I have never had one quit on me that was a problem with the engine...err... I guess we know what that leaves as the cause - don't we? Besides that, someone just listed the string of mishaps he had with "certified" engines which makes the rotary seem like a dream {:>). As I recall you have a minute or two of glider time yourself, don't you. 400 hours is impressive - how long has it been 2 years?
