Kitfox 912iS

[jdmcbean]

The 912iS is installed and flying.. Remarkably smooth.

We have a new firewall forward package that will be available shortly (working on packing list, pricing and instructions). While very simular to the 912ULS firewall forward there are some differences.

We have also worked closely with Advanced Flight Systems to equip the aircraft with their AF5000 series display. As many of you know the iS requires electronic engine gauges reading the CanAerospace bus system and cannot utilize analog gauges. The Team at Advanced came through and we now have a great engine display and flight display with HiRes terrain synthetic vision. Thank you to the Team at Advanced.

We are the first US manufacture to offer a complete firewall forward and fly the 912iS. Kitfox N12KA, AKA "The MULE", has now had 3 completely different engines, Rotec R2800 Radial, Lycoming O-233 and now the Fuel Injected Rotax 912iS on the same airframe... now we just need to put it on tri-gear and floats and skis... but it looks so good as a tail dragger.

Looks really good. What kind of prop is that?
