I did continue my research (learning was after all the intent of this posting)
and found a Rotax SL-912-016 which does state that WOT operation during takeoff
should not result in an RPM lower than 5200 RPM. In light of this new factual
information I will say please do follow this recommendation.
But I will say this openly: I didn't buy a certified airplane, instead I choose
to build an experimental Europa and, at least in the US, that means that it is
my responsibility to determine what are the operational parameters that will
result in safe operation but also in the performance I expected to achieve from
this aircraft. Google "LongEZ N295JF" (Race 25) and I think you will understand
where I come from.
Sadly, we do live in a litigious society and having open discussions in public
forums regarding the essence of what experimental aviation is about is dangerous
business so I will desist right now from doing that. I will share any factual
info I find such as the one presented above or in the previous postings but
it is up to each individual to decide what to do with that info. Really sad.
But I still would be interested in receiving information regarding RPM/MAP and
speed for your 912 ULS monowheel as originally intended.
And PeteZ, both the CTLS and the Sport Cruiser are equipped with he 100 HP ULS
engine.
Best Regards,
Chris Martin
