Jeroan,
A Rotax expert based in Vernon BC Canada is working on installing and testing a
912iS in a Europa XS. His name is Rob Seaton. Rotech is the name of the
business.
Sorry I can't look up his contact info for at the moment, try the Rotax list
also.

proof installation is available for the Europa? For me that would mean towards
the end of next year.
