    Fellow Rotax owners: Having worked with Jason Parker on the SDS setup, I am not surprised by the requirements, electrical, fuel and air will change. Eric's wedding takes precedence over the review of the new manuals for this week. Concerns I have, like you: ECU will be proprietary you can bet. Dealer only settings etc. Rotax will have a special class on it you for sure. Plumbing will be tight with two pumps and revised air intake. I had hopes they would use an engine driven pump but if it needs dual alternators, one can bet it is dual electric pumps. Are the pumps in the fuselage only, and now must we contend with 40 psi fuel in the fuselage. Quite the hazard. Are the pumps designed to be in the engine compartment. which is safer in a crash if proper fuel shutoffs are included. This would allow a retrofit to any kit without changing normal Rotax plumbing. Rotax is not keen on making things retrofitable, so I doubt any of us current owners will benefit. I hope I am wrong. I know that putting the Jason Parker setup with turbo fuel injection didn't warrant the cost as it would be years to get payback, so learn to service the carbs was my opinion. Many more questions abound, but I will patiently wait for a proper manuals and documentation review. Damn, just as I really got proficient with the dual bings and could make them sing, another thing to go wrong and have to learn how to fix.

    Why not Go all the way and check out the UL-Power engine instead? Bet the spare parts are very reasonable if compared... That will be my future choice! Cheers!

    Here you go guys, If you haven't already seen it, here is a nice animation of the new 912iS. It does use twin electric pumps housed in a neat stainless box within the engine compartment.

    From: "AirEupora" <AirEupora@sbcglobal.net>
    a couple of months ago, someone put out a message regrading using a seal from Home depot. I have tried using the Search engine, but to no avail. Anybody remember the message or the part number. I'm at the last stages of getting my plane on the Scales. hopefully, I can get the FAA out to the hangar in the next month.
