| Subject: | Re: 912 vs. 912S |
I figured I would weigh in with my thinking on this
subject as well. Firstly, keep in mind that I am not
flying yet, I am still building.
Right from the start of my 701 project I figured that
I would either go with a good used 912UL or a new
912ULS. My hope was that I would find a deal on a
used 80 hp engine that would be too good to pass up.
Failing that, if I had to go brand new, the couple of
thousand dollars difference in price would be well
worth it for the 100hp 912ULS.
I did find a pretty good deal on a 912UL. It was from
a CH-701 wrecked in a landing accident. It also came
with a bunch of additional parts like a basic panel
and a repairable cowl. I'm quite happy with the deal
so far but the engine is not installed and running on
my plane yet. The final financial test will be once
everything is installed and running.
Will the 80hp engine be my permanent choice? I don't
know. I am planning on going with floats at some
point so I might eventually install a 100hp engine.
I'll deal with this when I get there. It won't likely
be for several additional years.

One of the laws of physics....actually one that is more important than all the

Excellent decision.

These electronic headsets are not noise cancelling, they simply cut out the
noise when it exceeds a certain level. There is a microphone on the outside
of the earmuff and small speakers inside. When the noise level is exceeded,
the circuitry cuts out the mic and they act like an normal ear muff. For $10
they work great, probably not much good for flying, but instead for things
like target shooting where a sudden noise might be damaging to your ears and
yet you would like to be able to hear the people around you during "normal"
noise levels.

Ah...that explains it! Thanks for your explanation. Interesting idea...not
sure if it would work well in an airplane, though.
Thanks, John.

Based on feedback from the list, I ended up placing an order with Lockwood
for the 80 hp 912. I agonized over this because with the 912S you get
almost a free extra 20 horsepower, just a bit more acquisition cost and no
weight penalty. But a couple of guys flying the 912S were suggesting that
the 912 was a better match for the 701 based on their experience and their
logic was convincing to me.

Gang:
I needed to remove a bunch of rivets from my QB fuselage. (Why is
another story...)
This is a 3-step process which involves [1] punching out the mandrel,
[2] drilling off the head and [3] drilling/pushing out the shop head. I
modified an automatic pin punch into a one-hand tool for punching out
the mandrels, so that I could do this as a 1-man job. The other hand
holds a support bar behind the panel to make the punch more effective.
Modification takes 5 minutes. Tool costs $4. Time and trouble saved is
a *lot*.
The tool is shown and discussed at:

And don't forget that water cooled engines will be all the rage as global warming
makes air cooled engines obsolete in the near future. No better way to get

George
I made the same decision today based on this thread. I just placed my order with
lockwood for a 912 80 hp. I've been real busy at work lately and have not been
posting or reading the list but this morning I read of the price increase and
had to make a decision. Up untill now I intended to get the 100 horse but I
was swayed by the comments today and recently.....Geoff

That might explain the ones at Harbor Freight, but the $10.00 ones I
bought actually reduce the noise. Another engineer where I work
demonstrated them to me before I bought them. We stood at a place in the
plant that had a noticeable air handler noise, probably in the ceiling
above us, I put on the headsets first with the noise canceling turn off,
no change, then I turned it on just like those $1000, Bose headsets the
background noise fade away.
