I have found very adequate performance from the 912. 1000fpm climb (one
up) and 125-130kt cruise, using ground adjustable Warp Drive. Precise
figures would depend on whether prop angle is adjusted for STOL
performance or max. cruise speed.
Judging by what I have read on this forum, if you have 912S, you will need
heavy duty starter. Also, I expect there is a weight difference between
912 and 912S (with HD starter). That will affect payload and C of G. If
it pushes C of G too far forward you will have to put battery in back hand
have longer (heavier) cables to it. (Errr... perhaps all XSs have battery
at back?)
