As one of those Airmaster/912S owners I can say that it is great, but I
haven't used the Airplast.
The Airplast I believe is quite skinnily built whereas the Airmaster is more
substantial.
On the other hand I have Rotax Tacho, Manifold pressure gauge and CS
propellor control unit - each is a 2 1/4 inch gauge. All three are combined
into one gauge for the CS (VP ?) Arplast.
If you are buying a 912S make sure you get the HD starter. I say this
because after 97 hours I need a new sprag clutch :-(
Was this answer #1 ?
