The thread was (at least according to the Subject line)
about 2-stroke engines, Bob. You said, "I have never
agreed that any engine designed for surface vehicles is
all that safe in an aircraft..... " which led me belive you
were speaking about snowmobile type engines of which
the Rotax 2-strokes are a derivative. I was just making
a point that the Rotax 2-strokes are considered very
reliable engines in spite of their being a 2-stroke and we
use them due to weight considerations even tho most of
us would probably rather have a 4-stroke.
My apologies if I misunderstood your comment and
replied inappropriately.
