Bear in mind the Rotax is not aerobatic. If you do aerobatics using a 912
variant you are at risk of dramatically reducing the life of your engine. It
has been tried on an aircraft not dissimilar to a Europa. Obviously the more
you do the greater the risk. The occasional mild +ve manoeuvre probably does
little damage whereas frequently letting the oil pressure fall is likely to
send the otherwise very reliable Rotax to an early grave.
