You guys and gals with experience actually flying over congested cities, terrain, and water I wish to learn how often you really trust your favorite engine and which ones.
I trust Lycoming to fly occasionally over terrain or coast line where there is no landing zone at the altitude I’ve selected for sightseeing.
Now I have to select a lighter engine so I’m thinking a new 582 for the single-place Genesis and a 912 for the two-place.
Until the Webber has 500 hours Nicolas doesn't wish to use it, so that is out for me, but right now I trust a Yamaha or Webber more than a 2 stroke. = Motorcycles 2-Strokes and Sea Doo Rotax's have not been aircraft reliable for me.
Chris’s flight from Boston to San Diego convinced me the 912 is worth trusting but, I’m not sure I trust the 582 to fly over the same terrain. Do any of you?
What engines do you trust and how many hours do you trust it for?
