I do not think that Rotax had any "certified" engines in 1998.... Check the
serial number, if it has UL after the serial number then it is not certifi
ed...at least to my thinking....- =0A=0AHere in the U.S. if you install a
"certified" engine in a experimential airplane then the engine becomes a n
on certified engine..Or words to that effect.=0A=0AI know some of the 912 S
series of engines installed in the Light Sport airplanes are certified, I
have not seen any 914 engines installed in certified light sport airplanes.
....=0A=0AIn 1998 Rotax did not have any TBO's on their engines, sometime i
n the mid-2000 they started showing TBO on the light sport aircraft and I t
hink all of the Light Sport a/c are equiped with the 912 S series of engine
s.=0A=0AThese are my thoughts, as to your questions... I have operated a 91
4 since 2000 when I started flying a monowheel with a 914..At that time Rot
ax did- not have any certified engines..=0A=0AJim Brown=0AN398JB=0A=0A=0A
