- This engine is not suitable for acrobatics (inverted flight, etc.).

Flying any type of aircraft involves a certain amount of risk. Be informed
and prepared for any situation or hazard associated with flying.
A recognized training program and continued education for piloting an
aircraft is absolutely necessary for all aircraft pilots. Make sure you also
obtain as much information as possible about your aircraft, its mainte-
nance and operation from your dealer.
- You should be aware that any engine may seize or stall at any time. This
could lead to a crash landing and possible severe injury or death. For this
reason, we recommend strict compliance with the maintenance and ope-
ration and any additional information which may be given to you by your
dealer.
- Respect all government or local rules pertaining to flight operation in your
flying area. Fly only when and where conditions, topography, and air-
speeds are safest.
- Select and use proper aircraft instrumentation. This instrumentation is not
included with the ROTAX engine package. Only approved instrumentati-
on may be installed.
