The other thing that makes the price look so high for USA builders is
the present low value of the dollar. I also suspect the price
differential between the 914 and the 912(S) has increased due to the USA
military buying so many 914's. Whilst I appreciate that the turbo is
useful in high altitude environments the 912S is enough power for most
Europas (especially when it has a constant speed prop).

The last time I checked (which was admittedly four or five year ago),
an uncertified 914 was selling for $18k. Now it is up to almost $30k.
With a hydraulic governor, I am looking at close to $35k. What's up
with these prices??
