Nati,=0A-=0AI went to great lengths to ensure that I knew which switch co
nnected to the soft-start. But becuause you mention it and that I (and othe
rs) have made similar mistakes in the past I will check it. After all - you
may be correct.=0A-=0ATo Barry,=0A-=0AThe Rotax 912 ULS is a great eng
ine. Perhaps not a perfect engine but great nonetheless. I really enjoy fly
ing behind it.=0A=0ATo Bob,=0A=0AYou're right. I don't post when all is wel
l which is almost all the time. In the 185 hours on my 912 I have had to ad
d oil only 1 time between oil changes and that was only about 3 ounces and
probably because I was more nervous than necessary about it.=0A=0ASTAN 2=0A
