Following my report of rough running of my 912S last week, I flew with my inspector today to try to replicate the conditions in which the rough running occurs. It seems to happen at the top of a clim
Another thought, I have also just installed MOD 12, which is an extra baffle in the exhaust of a 912S (placed in the outlet to stop an internal plate coming loose and blocking the exhaust). Could thi
