2.5.1 Difference between C42 / C42 UK and C42B / C42B UK / C42E:
Since production year 2002, COMCO IKARUS has also been offering the C42B /
C42B UK / C42E, a further developed model.
The differences between the C42 / C42 UK and the C42B / C42B UK / C42E are to
be found in the engine compartment. The C42B / C42B UK / C42E has a new
cowling which is 13 cm longer, the engine has been set 6 cm forward and the
windscreen is shallower. In addition, the air induction system and the coolant and oil
cooling systems have been altered.
These alterations in particular have led to considerable improvements in performance
and to a reduction in the warm-up phase.
2.5.2 Engine:
The aircraft is powered by an 80 hp or 100 hp rated, mixed liquid-cooled/air-cooled,
opposed 4 cylinder, 4 stroke Rotax 912UL or 912ULS engine. Both engines have an
electrical starter, electronic dual ignition and an integrated reduction gear.
The C42B / C42B UK / C42E also has carburettor heating.
A detailed description of the engines and the necessary maintenance measures are
given in the Rotax documents.
