question #1
I think we all get our Phase II at the first inspection.  I did.  My plane had
nav-lights and panel lighting installed and the inspector looked at them.  I 
have
not restriction.

#2
I bought from Europa because they designed it for my plane.  I had an 
installation
manual to guide me.  If you buy piecemeal you do all the designing.

#3
Rotax has not control what you do with your UL engine. The notation they make is
an attempt to free them selves of liability, IMHO.

#4

You will have to make a phone call to find the current prices.  I can not find
anything on the web.

  Questions:

  1. In practice, with 912ULS and 914UL installations, are inspectors
  issuing Phase II operating limitations which preclude night operations,
  ?

  2. Are USA builders/flyers buying the Rotax from Europa (in order to
  get the listed ancillaries in one box) and just finessing the
  distinction between the "UL" and the certificated versions?...assuming 
  its wise to attempt to do so w/ your inspector.

  3. Does the "40 hours when a non-certificate engine and/or propeller in
  installed" during Phase I trump Rotax's own operating limitations which
  prohibit night ops with the "UL" engines?

  4. Does anyone know the approx. price difference between the "UL" and
  the certificated version of the Rotax 912?

  5. Is the distinction between the "UL" and certificated 912/914 one of 
  those "elephants in the living room which no one wants to bring
  attention to?

  Any answers would be much appreciated and (perhaps) reassuring!..thanks,
