That applies to any ultralight. 'Real' aircraft owners and pilots look down on ultralights as not being 'real' aircraft. I have both licences. The fact is that flying Cessnas, Pipers and the like is like flying an armchair compared to flying an ultralight. The former fly through the air whereas the ultralight is part of it meaning that you're flying stick and rudder the whole time. It doesn't come easy to 'real' aircraft pilots - myself included - can be very tiring in the beginning and can take a while before you're confident and proficient. Here's a little story. A pal of mine who now holds an ultralight licence, already held 'real' aircraft and helicopter licences when he flew in the right hand seat of an ultralight which he was about to own. The weather wasn't particularly active, a bit but not too much, but after I'd handed him the controls he handed them back within a minute or so because he found the conditions too demanding for him. I acquired that aircraft from him a short while back - an Xair - and it's on my channel. I flew it from the UK down to south-west France where I now live and have another, a Savannah, which I occasionally fly to the UK and back as it's more capable. Someone once said to me that the thing to remember is modern ultralights are pretty safe - they can only just kill you. And he was right.

So, in a way, you have to check the oil on it. I wonder what that aircraft would say about an 800 etec engine with a proper pipe. Then you would have an engine that has a computer that adjust for altitude, fuel injection that has no problems with upside down running. And something like 150 HP.

It’s a 532, with a 582 head. So a dual ignition system can be added. The 532 had points ignition only firing one plug on each cylinder. The other ignition is 12 volt and not Rotax. It’s a rotary valve engine so the oil bottle is to lubricant the valve shaft that drives 90 degrees to crankshaft. It’s a 50:1 oil mix. The gear box which is the B box. Like all Rotax gearboxes can be mounted either way up as can the engine. That’s why there is two level plugs. Id suggest you mix the oil to the fuel if you want it to run any longer. Also the 532 had a weak crankshaft. Id replace that engine with a late blue head 582.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you put straight 100LL or mogas in that tank you were running that lovely engine without oil. BTW that's a Rotax 532, out of production for many years and parts are increasingly difficult to get hold of. If you seize it it'll be a brick.

The engine is not as low-time as you may think. TBO on the 2 strokes is about 300 hours so 139 hours puts you almost half-way there. Also, if the plane has been sitting for a long time, you may want to replace the crankcase seals. If you blow a seal, the engine stops. Kitfox warns about that. The newer models went to certified 4 strokes. I wonder why the plane was parked in the hanger with the cowling off. Engine problems? Find out why, then fly.

It amazes me how some really smart people can be so dumb. He should have researched that engine and did his homework BEFORE making a video telling the world how it works... Then he runs it on straight gas! Only thing that kept it alive was the old premix that was still in the tank. Engine will survive idle and part throttle at 100:1 no problem. This video was painful to watch...

I enjoyed the episode, first to ever see your channel. I have a soft spot for kitfoxes as well. However I wish you would cut the music when you’re doing a first start, I wanna hear the engine.

A question... What ever happened to the yacht you bought? Did I miss something?

I suppose flying the cheapest plane on the internet is still a better idea than the cheapest helicopter on the internet.
