Early Avid Flyer rotax 532 or 582

[TreeTopAirways 10]

All,

Trying to figure out the engine on a Avid Flyer. The plane has a radiator on the belly. The Intake is on the right side of the engine (if your sitting in the cockpit). I am a newbie on the rotax engines.  

 

Thanks in Advance.

The engine will have a placard on the crankcase "mag" side, side opposite the prop.  The placard will say "type 582, type 503....etc.  About 1.5x2.5 inches in size, black.

If you have a radiator, it's not a 503, if it has one spark plug per cylinder, it's a 532, dual plugs, most likely a 582.  Also, most 532s had an A style gear box.  Jim Chuk

Thanks for the replies. Next time, I will look for the placard.
