The 912S seems to be the engine of choice in most recent VLA / LSA designs including
the prototype Cessna LSA.
I assume that these manufacturers want their powerplant to be bang up to date,
like the airframe. It also seems reasonable that Rotax have a product update strategy
and timetable.....and the 912S has been around for 5 or 6 years now.
Unfortuately googling "Rotax update fuel injection etc etc" doesn't shed any light
on the issue.
Any good Rotax 912S replacement rumours would be gratefully received!
Cheers,
Roger

Thanks Stan. You're numbers are a little more consistent with mine, as I'm
getting 80mph cruise at 5800rpm out of my 3:1 582 in a K-IV-1200. I use 12
degrees. Unfortunately others do much better. (Isn't that always true?)

K-IV 1200 / 582-C / Warp / 100% done, thanks mostly to Bob Ducar.
