I did a search.
I'm looking for real world experience on the Rotax 914...does anybody have personal experience with those that you can pass along. I've received some negative feedback from professionals that I respect that makes me wonder about it as opposed to a 912 ULS. We have a recently acquired 914 but are in low country and don't fly high at all so don't have a need for the added performance, weight, complexity...and looking at the Rotax power/weight charts the 914 has no advantage over the 912ULS at low altitude they have virtually the same installed power/weight ratio...and the 914 weighs 20+-# more which we don't need that either.
Well, you see what I'm wondering about...we're considering getting rid of the 914 and replace with a lighter 912ULS but have to do our homework.
Any info appreciated. Thanks
Spencer
