bushcaddy105 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Gooday Bill, There was one in a shed near me - it was replaced with a Jab 2200, and to my knowledge was a ruuning concern at the time. I'll ring the owner tonight to see if it's still there and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bill, Not sure why you would want to go with a 532, other than it must be free !....The 532 was Rotaxs first Watre-cooled aircraft engine (single Ign). It was quickly replaced by the 582 Dual Ign which was really a better engine all round, with more capacity and HP, and a more developed cooling system, in the same size/weight package. The 532 has been discontinued for some years now, and I don't even know if you can still source parts for them. On the other hand there are lots of 582s around, and is still a current engine supported by Rotax..............................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to the Maj's post, it's a certainty that the 532 crankshaft/rods assy is no longer available from Rotax although there are a few Rotax gurus in the US who profess to be able to supply 'rebuilt' 532 cranks??? Apart from that, I believe most if not all other components are still available via CPS or the like. Confirming that single spark plug and Bosch contact breaker ignition with the 532 vs dual plugs and Ducati DCI sparking in the 582 certainly make the latter a much more desirable hook-up even if it is considerably more expensive. Having said all of that, there are still a lot of 532-powered recreational machines out there that have flown hundreds of hours and that will continue to do so as long as they're looked after.

skyfox1 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi yes 532 are a great engine we have two drifters here that use them they are dual ignition use about 9lts hr heaps of power . the 582 cranks fits also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yes they aren't a bad engine, I've also flown quite a few miles with them myself. Just more 582s around these days so parts are going to be easier and cheaper to source that's all...................................................Maj...
