You'll find this interesting Alan http://www.airtrikes.net/engines.shtml
Thanks for that Stuart, I did enjoy this article. I do miss the flying. I used to own an Australian microlight called a "Thruster" . Which was difficult to land, I know as I crashed it twice on landing and on another landing, a wheel fell off! But I mastered it eventually. This craft had a Rotax 503 two stroke engine and I know that it suffered three engine failures during the time I new the aircraft. It's a bit disconcerting when the fan stops and you are at 2000 feet.

I had one just like this, but a different colour. Mine was also a two seater and I think this one is a single seater, I've had a few adventures in this craft!
