Dan, thank you. We have been conned into the cheap bolt on turbo extra power. I have seen some scary holes burned throughfancy tight cowls. I will cover many aircraft stories, but allow me to take the most recent first: flying the brand-new Rotax 915iS and comparing it to the 912iS, although not in the same airframe. During our factory tour at Rotax, we politely told the engineers we would reserve judgment until the engine hits the field. It just depends on what you want. Also, avgas is incompatible with the recommended synthetic oil which cannot hold lead in suspension; consequently, the use of leaded fuel mandates additional maintenance.[3]. Please contact Just Aircraft. Starting was as with any Rotax 9-series engine Ive ever flown. [I] was going to go with MT props, but they seem to be unresponsive. Carburetors are old technology, not well suited to different altitudes, step up to the 1980's and get a fuel-injected engine. We have developed a bias towards the fuel injected 912 iS as the fuel savings would cover the higher purchase cost. or simplicity? The iS, by the way, has dual-injector electronic port fuel injection in place of the ULSs dual Bing carburetors. If the latter is not familiar to you, dont worry about the detail for now but see an important point below*. Flight Design's base price on the 912 iS version of the airplane is $152,500 versus $139,800 for a comparably equipped 912 ULS CTLS. It was still powerful. Rotax's 915iS uses the same displacement as the 912iS. Four-stroke piston engine with four liquid and air-cooled cylinders. superstol2019@miketiffee.com.

This engine series offers a time between overhauls of 2,000 hrs and the best power to weight ratio in its class - no surprise that this engine is the best selling 4-stroke engine. That smooth power is such an upgrade that it becomes a different class of airplane, especially out west where that power is needed and useful for high percentage of flights. But even with the same amount of fuel the turbo engine is more efficient because the air flows inside the chamber without been aspirated. Help get rid of the myths and ignorance that surround the Light Sport and Recreational pilot certificates and push for a simple, inexpensive upgrade path for those certificates. In flying the 915iS I revisited the task of managing throttle and prop controls. kicktireslightfires, Jun 16, 2020 #1 Ghery Touchdown!

[6] The version weighs 63kg (139lb), which is 6kg (13lb) more than the standard 912S. A key reason this is possible is because of liquid cooling versus my older experience in air-cooled legacy engines, for example, in a Cessna 182 Skylane. When zipping along faster than 170 miles an hour true, consumption rose to the 7-9 gph range. The Astore is not hard to get in and out of but just not as easy as the 2008. When single lever constant speed (CS)props become available, hopefully late this year, only the iS engines will be eligible sincetheyarefull fadec engines,that means only the 912iSor 915iS. The difference between the 912is and the ULS is the Induction system.

Even as the 912 iS was being announced last year, Rotax was already flying comparison trials, but the initial fuel economy data it released was based on dyno runs and some flight testing. The compression ratio is one thing the pressure inside the combustion chamber is another thing, in a turbo engine the the air is forced inside the combustion chamber in a normal engine is aspirated, thats why even at lower compression ratio the pressure inside a turbo engine is much higher. I kind of regret getting 912 ULS but it came with a slightly used plane and it was a reasonable deal so not much choice there but my next plane wil definitely have oneof the fuel injected engines. We are interested in development of sea plane with passenger capacity of 15 plus passenger with a turbine twin engines. A back-of-the-envelope calculation reveals that these numbers rival diesel efficiency and if mogas is factored into the equation, flying a 912 iS-equipped aircraft is substantially less expensive than the equivalent 912 ULS. The engine differs from previous generation aircraft engines (such as the Lycoming O-235) in that it has air-cooled cylinders with liquid-cooled heads[4] and uses a 2.43:1 PSRU reduction gearbox to reduce the engine's relatively high 5,800rpm shaft speed to a more conventional 2,400rpm for the propeller.
