Anyone know of problems with Rotax's new fuel-injected iS engine? I
heard that the new engines are not yet flying.

No issues. I was at the unveiling in Wells. They had the test engines
out, and they were coming back in for teardown and inspection. They
are basically an improved version of the earlier 912S, with a proven
(in other applications) injection system.

The retail engines should be on the market end of June, early July
timeframe if everything goes according to the timeline they were
expecting.

Mighty fine piece of engineering.


The old saying was "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".
So I know I can't.
But how much will they go for?
