You have a lot to learn young grasshopper Sunfish.

Did you hear about the 912 recall that meant that owners were up for up to half of $12k for a new crank case because their engines were of a particular serial number range? The operator I know of got away with $6,000 on his half life engine as Rotax funded half of it.

How much will a rebuild cost on your $26k? engine Sunfish, perhaps around $23k?!?! Jab used to rebuild engines for $6.5k for flying schools.
