Overhaul of 912 series engines, done by Rotax overhaul facility
generaly costs roughly 1/2 the cost of a new engine.

That's actually a pleasant surprise. Last I checked it was about 3/4 of new - for
grins I asked Lockwood what it was for a 912ULS (which was about 16K new at
the time) and they said it was about 12K.
1/2 of new and it's worth it to overhaul.....

Looks like fun, in addition to excellent training when the time comes.
During our day at the Alvord Desert last month, several of us shot dead
stick landings to the dry lake. I took a video of Roger Hankins landing
dead stick. I was hoping to get the sound the FS made gliding through the
air. However, the wind was blowing harder than I realized. Ended up
recording wind sound and not much Kolb sound.
BTW: How large was the file you updated to Youtube?

Kip, I wondered how the camera pointed itself so well until I heard
the back seat talking. Good stuff.
First event of the season for me. I like the new legs although I did
get a nice bounce after this morning's ride.
-after several perfect greasers last evening. live and learn.
Here warming up for departure..... This is the grass AFTER mowing

Most of us don't have to worry about Rotax overhauling our 912 engines
because we don't fly enough to get anywhere near the Rotax Factory TBO,
which is or will be 2000 hours.
Think it will take 4 hours every weekend for 10 years to amass 2,080.0
hours. That's about 208 hours a year. If you fly 104 hours a year, it will
take 20 years to get to TBO, which will probably be 3000 hours TBO by that
time. ;-)
I've got 389.0 hours on my 912ULS since new about two years ago. If I keep
it, I have no qualms about flying it 3,000.0 plus hours without overhaul.
I'll leave the serious numbers to the engineers on the List. For my
purposes, 3,000.0 hours X 80 mph equals 240,000 miles. Most any auto or
truck engine mass produced today will make that mark and still be in good
running condition.
Based on more than 2,500.0 912 hours on my mkIII, I think the heads would
have to rebuilt by 3,000.00. Engine accessories that won't make it will be
carbs, spark plug connectors. Other than that, probably not much.
Couple years ago, Eric Tucker told me there had never been a 912 cylinder
replaced.
I think as long as I keep the oil changed frequently, more frequently than
the factory specifies, especially when operating on 100LL, my little engine
will last a very long time.

Actually, it was the back seater that uploaded the vid. Not bad resolution from
a point and shoot camera. If you want info on it, I can ask him...:)

I am seeing quite a bit of black mildew now on the inside of my plane.
What will safely clean that off the fabric?
Cristal,
I've been having much the same problem. I hangar in one of those tent
like instant garages and there is a lot of mildew and mold on the inside
surface of the tent cover, which then seems to migrate onto the plane. I
recently found a product that cleans it off pretty good and also helps to prevent
it from coming back.
DampRid. Available in a spray bottle (like a kitchen cleaner) in the
paint department at Lowes and Home Depot. The label says it is safe to use on
aluminum, glass, fiberglass, acrylic, pvc, vinyl, rubber, chrome, plastic
and more. I first used it on the fabric/canvas tent cover and it cleaned it
really good. Then after seeing no ill effects on that, I began using it
on my Kolb fabric. After about six months use I see no problems yet.
