I can tell you that the airplane will fly @ 1525lb just fine even at 7,000'
density. I agree with Pauls reasoning about the airplane getting through
the squirrely transition stage. With a 914 it gets through it much faster.
Besides lets see a 912S go to FL22.5.

| Hi all,

my

Paul,
Thank you for that most interesting report on your choice of engine.
I have opted for the 914 and am pleased I have a mentor in the passing I was
interested
particularly in the mention of extra power for heavyweight or short strips
as expect both to be challenges especially in Ontario, Quebec, and east.
I hope I can ask you the odd question when the engine comes
(probably in early '05) as have the old Euro FWF kit.
It may strike you as funny but here in Canada, I can register the
AUW up to a formula on wing area hwich permits 1500lb. If I register the AUW
as under 1370lb, it is annual tax free, but hundreds if more. Since one of
our compatriots registered and flew 1500lb AUW at Calgary (3500'ASL and
35degC) successfully, I intend to register as 1365 and fly on occasion at
1500 and Devil take the hindmost.
Thanks again
Ferg
