The Polini engines are being used by Badlands Aircraft on their ultralight and by Fisher on theirs. So far I've had no first hand comments on them.

If the old Be-lite site is still up it had a lot of good things to say-- and a video on how to fix brittle exhaust parts that broke. There is a factory aluminum ring mount with miniature Lords for Thor 202 and 250s which is lighter than any of my 6061 plate and angle bed mounts. I think Mike Sandlin (Bluebird, Bloop) and those who have powered his Goat design have used both Polini and Simonini 250 class engines as well as Vittorazi 185s. At the price it would cost to obtain one, I won't be doing so. But, thanks to Polini I have picked up a couple orphaned Rotax 250s. Antoinette |
