Looks interesting, but the power is somewhat disappointing: 95 HP at 3300
RPM, about 77 HP at 2700 RPM. I'd guess it needs a bit more oomph for a
Zodiac, though it would be great for a 701.

Make a nice tie down weight when parking.
Based on the jabiru 2200 , was intended for a helicopter project .... nuff said.
High rpm , not good for thrust output, bit heavy too for the 77 hp as this is at real world rpm of 2750. 3300 rpm if you have a VP prop and your area allows the noise.
So other than all that , a great engine. LOL
