Cog Belt Reduction Drive Kit
Quad City Ultralight or their authorized dealersReplacement parts
Rotax 2-stroke aircraft engines produce their power
at high RPMs. Propellers need to turn much slower.
On the Challenger, reduction is achieved through a
belt drive which at the same time raises the
propeller shaft sufficiently to allow clearance for
a relatively large and efficient propeller.
Recoil starterincluded
The recoil starter is included with the engine, but
most owners prefer the added convenience of an
electric starter. The Rotax electric starter,
mounted parallel to the crankshaft, cannot be
installed on the Challenger because of the low
clearance between the engine and firewall. A third
party starter made by GPL and mounted at a right
angle to the crankshaft is a popular option.GPL starters

The standard exhaust configuration for Challenger
installations.
Engine mounting kit Quad City
Ultralight or their authorized dealersReplacement parts
The Challenger's engine is fastened to a mounting
plate through four crankcase studs. Six rubber
engine mounts isolate the aircraft's structure from
the mounting plate, efficiently smoothing the
engine's vibration. The entire assembly is hung
cylinders-down from the structure's main "keel".

The exhaust muffler is attached to the cylinder heads by a stainless steel
clamp.
HP-L type hub$845.00 +$190.00
The Challenger II with late-model belt reduction
drive has clearance for a 60" propeller. The 582
setup uses a 3-blade ground adjustable
propeller. It is extremely durable thanks to its
carbon fibre construction and optional inlaid nickel
leading edge.
Front seat quadrant with throttle and choke lever. A friction adjustment knob is installed
on the side.
Rear seat quadrant with throttle lever, similar to the front seat quadrant.
High quality throttle cable assembly: single cable from front
quadrant to splitter, two or three cables to the
carburetors and oil injection pump lever (if installed). Very precise,
maintenance-free, allows perfect carburetor synchronization.
High quality choke cable assembly similar to the throttle cable.
Heavy-duty push pull cables interconnect both quadrants allowing
positive and precise control$300.00
+$15.00
The stock engine control quadrant and cable setup on
the Challenger is far from ideal. First, there are
two cables routed all the way from the rear seat
throttle lever to each carburetor. These cables have
a lot of play in their housings. The result is that
the carburetor pistons never move at exactly the
same rate, desynchronizing their operation and
preventing the engine from reaching its full
smoothness and efficiency. Second, the front and
back seat levers are interconnected by a pushrod
which has been known to give and bend when the
instructor and student disagree on power settings.Aero

It is
essential to monitor the following engine parameters
to ensure its proper operation:
Tachometer (RPM)
Hourmeter
Liquid temperature
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) for both cylinders
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) for both cylinders
There are different ways to accomplish this. The
first is to use the classic analog (steam gauge
type) instruments.

The alternative is to use a digital all-in one
