Rotax 912 UL

[Dusty]

I have a 93,912 with over1300hrs.The core is untouched,doesn't even need oil between changes.Unfortunatly someone in our regulatory body has had a brainfart and is pushing for strict adherence to the recommended calendar and overhaul times.A storm I brewing!

There is unsubstantiated stories of 912's in Australia with 4000+ hours.There has been a lot of research and data gathering by our overseeing organisation (RAANZ).These engines are extremely reliable well beyond design Limits.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your inputs. I don't know much about Rotax engines, so I'm trying to increase my knowledge base.


Thanks again.

[Bartman1959]

So, I guess my next question would be, how much is a used Rotax 912 UL going for?

Check barnstormers!

Prices vary dramatically. It all depends on where you are looking and what you are looking for. I've seen very good engines sell for as little as $4500 in the last couple years. I've also seen people asking $10k for junk.

[Bartman1959]

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Thanks.

Yeah, the problem is being able to tell the difference!

4000 has to be trainers. That's some serious hours to put on a plane even if you have an old 1990's
