The LAA are only considering 2 types of engine for the Twister.
The Jabiru.
And the UL Power 260.
I've heard enough horror stories about the Jabiru over the years to make this decision easy.
The UL Power is an advanced engine - offering fuel injection (so no carb icing) FADEC (single lever control and auto mixture). But is still a direct drive and air cooled design which makes things simple and reliable.
The iSA version offers a fully inverted oil system as standard and puts out 107hp plus a lot of torque - 240NM (a lot more than the 100hp Rotax 912S - which puts out 128NM).
It's not cheap - but then quality never is.

Excellent Choice of Engine I must say. You will not be disaponted.
