Watch the video tip to understand the principle of how this easy to use material is versatile in its ability to create custom shapes for your fiberglass parts ( cowls, wheel pants, fairings , etc)

Inside your Rotax 2 Cycle Engine
The series of  2 cycle  engines from Rotax were ubiquitous back in the 1980s for powering ultralights and light aircraft. These include the  582 and 503 models as well as others. There are quite a few still in operation today. While some models are not sold anymore, parts are readily available from Rotax and they are continually being rebuilt

Our DVD showing the tear down and examination of the internals of these engines is one of our most popular  titles!
