 That sounds super. A few years ago a guy was  putting a 4 cyl Geo (same engine?) on his Kolb and it weighed some where around  190-200 lbs. Again that's what I was told. Rotax has a advertised weight of  30-40 lbs less than my VW but when installed they mysteriously weigh about the  same.

  

 Eggenfellner was showing a Honda car 1500cc engine  conversion with their redrive on it at Sebring. They claim 117HP (at) 6,600RPM peak  (110 (at) 5800)  with a weight of 199Lbs. The conversion kit with your engine  is $7000 (complete engine $12,000) but that was with the conversion engine  laid down about 45 degrees. Might be less upright?

  

 I made a "major improvement" to the Kolb engine  mount to lower the VW enough to get a good thrust line but mounting a Rotax now  would be, lets say, different.
