    I have been following Matt for about 3 to 4 years. In watching his videos he wants to be as safe as possiable and I would trust his oppinion on his product reviews.
  • @straightchad8059
    Need to see the inside of the engine after 100 hours of flight operations
  • @SkyJeep701
    Oh and Matt, please troubleshoot your pitot static system- you should have an airspeed indication on a 701 during climb out regardless of your deck angle.

    Amsoil, For your oil sample. The founder was a jet pilot who designed the first industry leading synthetic oil. And the US military was his first customer. A 15- 40 diesel oil with a military rating on the label, Used in everything,tanks etc. Has a rust prevention rating for internals for 12 months. A firm believer in the product line and many used on my farm over the years
  • @jimboagogo
    Awesome interview great to hear from someone with first hand experience! Thanks for your views Matt!
  • @jhaedtler
    Much like Harbor frieght did with the Honda clone engines! Or like the clone to the PT-6 turbo prop engines!
  • @JMOUC265
    Great to follow alongside and see enough details to feel like I experienced it firsthand. Thanks for the video.
  • @livfreelee
    Zongshen Engines are known to be well made, reliable, as well as affordable. They are in a wide variety of applications for some time now. I have a 450 Kove Rally motorbike with a Zongshen, so I have looked into them prior to purchase.
  • @DeadRoman
    Lol. Suprised to see it mmatt. Been following him a while.
  • @Factory400
    If Harbor Freight made aero engines...... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
  • On a different subject here..... can you bring us an update on the DR Chinook and the new owners... Want one but need to know that they are UP & RUNNING and stable and I know You might be the one to inform us. Thanks ๐Ÿ‘
  • @ericsd55
    What a kick in the balls for the people at Rotax to endorse this theivery. And isn't Rotax owned by Bombardier, a Canadian company?
  • @photon1972
    Curious to know what EFI heโ€™s planning to install? Edge kit?
  • @nickr5658
    Itโ€™s probably not a serious knockoff โ€œyet,โ€ however they will endup in drones and will eventually be very good if they sell enough. Rotax has enjoyed a monopoly for a while. Doubt it will have much impact other than for the cheap kit builders
  • @kevinbarry71
    Cheap Chinese airplane engines; what could possibly go wrong? FYI, 35ยฐC is 95ยฐF
  • @ele4853
    I'm loving this! About time for the Chinese to clone rotax and challenge their absurdity about prices! What an expensive toy like engine it is. I follow rotax since the "famous" 532 two stroke. Since then I followed them to never buy into it because of a simple reason. All its engineering concepts are WRONG! I love this clone idea. AWESOME! I love the fact that rotax are now challenged. I hope the Chinese succeed ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜
