ARV Super2

Dear All,

Like many I've read the Article in this months (well, April) Pilot about Trevor Lyons ARV Super2, G-ORIX. It's left me with a few questions:

1) Did the Hewlett AE-75 engine originally fitted to Super2s ever get "sorted". There are quite a lot still flying with the orginal engine, so presumably it's a bit more reliable now.(...or is it?)

2) Rotax 912 engines have also been retro-fitted to a few airframes. Opinions pls?

3) Any horror stories about owning / operating the Super2?

4) Conversely, any GOOD stories about owning / operating the Super2?

and lastly

5) Where can I find someone that will (for the price of fuel / landing fees) let me fly in one. If the engine is sorted out it seems like just the thing I'm looking for.....

Kind rgds
BEX
