Certainly can get more than 200 or 300 hours between overhauls. Gotta let these motors slowly warm up amongst other best practices.

Absolutely! I've heard that you need 200ºF CHT before take-off but a wise Rotax rebuilder taught me that the engine needs to be run about 10 minutes or so to make sure it is "heat soaked" before full power application.

That’s not a whole lot better than the hand made engine that Orville and Wilbur started with.
