I actually have the 912S in my Allegro. From what I have heard, the Jab is harder to get serviced, so therefore the Rotax is the better alternative. This could just be an opinion, but it might warrant looking into.

I think the cowl would have to be redesigned to cater for an air cooled engine. Here is the answer I got from Fantasy air some time ago... ----- Original Message ----- From: Sales@Fantasy Air.com To: Dave Grosvenor - DreamWings Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 9:40 AM Subject: Re: Jabiru engine Hello Dave, We do fit the Jabiru engine to Scandinavian countries. It has very bad reputation in hot countries, because of overheating problems etc. We had to make some adjustments in engine installation to avoid the overheating problems and it was fine, but still not in countries with hot weather. Rotax engines are MUCH more reliable. There is no price difference currently between Allegro with Rotax or Jabiru. So, we are sorry but we do not want to sell Allegros to South Africa with Jabiru engine.
