    I know where there is another one with the same mileage. Basically a brand new 2003 RX1. Very rare.

    I am preparing to build a small 2 place with a Yamaha RX1 motor. Previously people were using the Rotax C gear cases. I am questioning the reliability/durability of these. What is the best option for adapter/gearbox these days? I don't want to orphan my children by using anything inferior. I am currently considering install in a Highlander or Superstol.

    New Builder of Avid Type and a Yamaha RX1
    Hello All. I am a new member here, and I wanted to introduce myself. I have been an aviation enthusiast my whole life, and I now I am FINALLY working on actually building and flying my own plane. I just bought a Yamaha RX1 with 250 miles on it. I intend to use the engine is some form of a Kitfox/Rans/or Highlander custom build. My goals are safety, low build cost and operating costs (I'm a middle class father), and a fun factor. Being new at this, I am happy to learn from all of you. I will be harvesting the RX1 motor within the next few weeks. So you all can school me. I am an engineer by profession, and I do know some about airplane physics, so I can speak the language, but you all have the valuable experience. I have a lot to learn about which airplane to build, how to mount the Yamaha engine, how to weld up mounts (I have a TIG welder), which gearbox is the most dependable, etc... I look forward to learning and sharing with you guys/gals..
