    John, keep us apprised of any developments on the iS. Since I haven't ordered my 912 yet, I may be interested in installing the iS. Depending on the price of course. Isn't aviation exciting?!

    thanks for the videos Eric.It looks like the ECU and the Fuel system is on the pilot side of the fire wall. Will there be enough room for all of that in a Kitfox IV?

    I want one...any one up for a 912S, less than 200 hours, runs perfect

    The IV cannot use the Rotax "ring" style engine mount because the oil tank is in the way. (mounted high and behind the motor)

    Now if John can work up a ring style mount for the IV then this and the 914 become possibilities in it.

    Really, not to rain on the parade, but come on... isn't it about time Rotax came around to the current century? Everyone's going crazy over this, but with the current price of the ULS I wouldn't be surprised if this thing costs near $30 grand. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have one, but this wasn't by any means a difficult task to complete and should have happened years ago. .
