Hi,
I ordered my 912S for the Classic FWF from Rotec which are the
authorized DISTRIBUTOR for Canada. They changed the originally installed
HD started to the normal starter and said it would be just fine.

All,
The reason I asked is this. I felt I needed it to protect my engine in
the event of a prop strike, God forbid. So in talking to Lockwood they
quoted me a price, told me how to get it off etc, never mentioning any
downside to it, even though I said I could not fit the HD starter. A few
days later, speaking to the same guy, to get the shipping address, he
said if I did not put the HD starter on too, starting would be very
difficult and advised against it. This is impossible with the classic
FWF. This was after I already had the gearbox off and boxed up to ship.
I am seeking advise from the folks that know, you guys. I prefer the
classic cowling for many reasons, mainly the money and time invested,
it's painted, and I want to fly!!!! I may go ahead and send it in a few
days depending on what I learn. Thanks for the helping hands, or wings,
to get me into the air.
