The latest issue of Kitplanes has an article about the new Rotax 912 iS. Reading
the article carefully I have at least divined that it is not a joint venture
with Apple, and does not automatically post your position to Facebook, but is
in fact a souped-up engine.
I am still busy with the plane itself, though inshallah I will be coming to the
stage where I will need an engine sometime next year. So far though I have
little
insight into this esoteric part of the build. Herewith therefore some questions
I hope some of you who have actually seen an engine close up can help me
with:
Is this a replacement for the existing ULS or an addition to the range, like the
914?
Does it address the same user community as the ULS or does the performance and
/ or price put it in a different category?
Is it a plug-in replacement for the ULS, i.e. would it use the same FF and other
hardware?
Dynon (and probably others) provide a complete ULS monitoring solution for their
EFIS. Would that work with the iS or would it need a different kit?
Any idea how much it would cost and what the cost / benefits would be compared
to the ULS?
Given that it is new, how long would it realistically take until a complete
idiot
proof installation is available for the Europa? For me that would mean towards
the end of next year.
