915is Updates in the Kitfox?

[jdmcbean]

Rotax just had a price increase...
912UL $16,503
912ULS $19,701
912iS $23,284
914UL $31,539
915iS $38,667

Have talked with Edge Performance about there engine.. and we can supply them a new engine that they can modify.. to the EP912STi engine currently listed at 28000 Euro ($33375 US) I do not know if that reflects the current Rotax pricing.

As for the 915iS.. We are (have been) working on a firewall forward package. It is a little more complicated and has larger oil cooling requirements and absolutely requires an inter-cooler. Exhaust and Turbo are larger as well.
If all goes well we hope to be flying it soon.

Hey John,

Does the 915 use the same cowl as the 914 or will it require a "special" cowl?

Thanks,
Clark

The 915 will be a complete firewall forward..
Same basic cowlings with mods... but most likely different oil cooler, radiator and requires an inter-cooler...
While you would think the wiring would be the same as the 912iS.. Rotax decided made changes to that as well...
