Jeff,
If you like performance and ease of operation, you're going to love your
912S. My tri gear's acceleration is very impressive; pushes you well
back into the seat and she climbs at around 1000 fpm at 1400 lbs, when
coupled with an AirMaster...
I looked, very hard at all the engines and FWFs being used in Europas
and chose the 912S. My reasons for choosing the 912S are: The kit was
designed around it, making installation a breeze. Performance, well,
see above. I wanted to fly my beauty, NOW! and didn't want to spend
extra time fidgiting with a non-standard installation. I'm not saying
that the other available engines aren't fine and I very well might
experiment with another engine, should I build another Europa. I just
wanted to get under way with the least possible hassles. The 912S has
provided me with that ability and has done so spectacularly.
Hope I haven't stepped on any toes... ;)
Jeff - N55XS
60+ hours and going out again tomorrow with that special grin, still on my
face...
