Hi
Has anyone upgraded from the 2000 Limbach or the 2500 Grob to the 2400
Limbach? Are there any other certified conversions available?
Thanks, Rob Wilkinson

I know several that have converted from the Limbach 2000 to the 2400. The propeller needs to be changed too.
There is also a certified conversion to the Rotax 912, but it's expensive and can only be done at the factory.

Hi Folks,

Steve Larmore and I both give rides in our A models here in Maine.
Every season we say we are going to get the bigger engine and then we
check on the price and we go back to our regular life where we climb at
300fpm.

We would always be interested if someone finds a cheaper way to get
more power. Keep us posted.---

Best wishes,
Dave

Thanks Nils:
My 109 engine is running strong but it has about 800 hours smoh. I
want
to do something different this time. I give rides on Martha's
Vineyard,
MA in the summer. The extra power in climb would be great. Would you
give me some info so I could contact the owners who have switched to
the Limbach 2400 so I can make a judgement? Thanks for your response,
Rob
