Engine replacement

Post by L200grt123 » Fri Jul 21, 2023 5:59 pm

Hi I have just purchased a Murphy renegade spirit, on taking it back to my airstrip after 2.5 hours
The engine seized, and had to land in a field near the seven bridge.
Anyway , how hard is it to chuck the jabiru 2200 away and I wanted to know if I could put a rotax 912 ULS in it .
How hard is it and is it possible.
Thank you in advance

Have a look at G-INFO and see if any have a 912.
I believe a ULPower engine fits the Jab engine mounts, though it will be wider and heavier.
