Watch out and don't get too close to the Crown Royal for too long at one time!
It has been know to give one the "blue bag flu"

I guess I better go check my Crown Royal bottle to make sure it hasn't caved
in Yet don't want that shelf life expiring on me, eh
I wouldn't think any oil would expire no more than My Crown Royal would don't
worry about it use it if you got it or send it to me I'll use it and send you
the results

Hi Folks,
I have a 912UL installed in a Zenith 601HD. Terrific little engine.
I've read in a couple of places that 912 engines are not terribly
susceptible to carb icing, but operating on the principle of "better safe
than sorry", I've been thinking of adding it. I wondered if anyone has any
experience with the unit shown at
http://www.ultralightnews.ca/bing/carbheater.htm. Seems like a simple
solution.
Along the same lines...anyone heard much about the 912XTRA piston conversion
kits - good or bad?

Tim,
Rotax says that using non approved piston will void the warranty.

Thanks Thom
I've seen that but don't see how it helps. If I climb to 6000ft I get about
23in.Hg MP at full throttle. What I want to know if how do I now set up for
a reasonable cruise. It doesn't seem to make sense that you can run full
throttle and set the RPM to any value you like - at some point the prop will
be too course. I'm looking for some practical tips from owners of VP props
on how they set up MP vs RPM. Am I missing something here?

This information is given in paragraph 10.1.1.1 in the Rotax 912 Series
Operator's Manual which is available for download at
http://www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com/aircraft/aircraft.nsf/index?
Openpage
It does not matter whose prop you are using or whether it is a manually
adjustable or CS prop. The combination of MP and RPM is what matters.

The one shown on www.ultralight is the mark 1 version sold
by Skydrive. The nice solid body has been replaced (in the
Mark 2 and Mark 3 versions) by a casting around a bit of
bent copper pipe. Not as asthetically pleasing but i am
sure a lot cheaper to make.
Even the Lockwood catalogue shows this mark 1 version.
I am sure if you buy from any of these suppliers you will
get the mark 3 version.
The difference between the mark 2 and mark 3 ? They
deleted the temperature gauge !
I have one, or rather a pair. It does not work if the
water temperature is allowed to get too low, and
unfortunately the time you need the carb heaters working
(cold) is when the water temperature is low. Baffles required.

I am building a searey. Unfortunately the builders technical sight is
closed, but one of the builders had the piston installed, but the engine seized
in
about 20 hours. This would be third hand information, so take it for what its
worth.
