    Default Changing from rotax to o-235

    I am tired of looking for a deal on a 100 hp rotax. I have my cowl and engine mount on for the 912. What is involved in changing over to the o-235.

    Have you considered an 80hp 912UL then adding a Zipper conversion?

    I would wait, the 0-235 is a lot heavier which will reduce your range or payload considerably. Tom

    I think to get a FWF set up with new cowls for the 0-235 would be in the $4000 range
