So I am playing around with the idea of buying another plane. One I am looking at has a Rotax 912... But (always a but) it has been sitting outside for maybe two years.

I am going to drive by and look at the plane today, I am pretty sure it will need a recover. But I don't know much about Rotax 4 strokes. If this were a Lycoming, I'd just walk away.... Fabric and an engine rebuild would mean they would have to give me the plane.

So anyone know 912's and how bad sitting is for them? And points I need to check?
