The Stratus engine is zero-timed to factory specs, produces 100 horsepower, and has an estimated TBO of 1,000 hours. Compared to two-cycle engines, the Stratus engine offers more reliable and quieter operation. Compared to certified aircraft engines, the Stratus engine offers lower fuel consumption and the ability to use unleaded auto fuel. Both home builders and certified aircraft owners benefit from less engine vibration, resulting in a more comfortable ride and less fatigue on the airframe. They also benefit from an engine that's easier operate and easier and cheaper to maintain.
Replacement parts are inexpensive and are available at most auto parts stores.
Before they are delivered, Stratus engines are completely assembled and test-run. Each engine includes a reduction drive, electric starter, air filters, an ignition coil, a fuel pump, and your choice of prop extensions.
