Well Skippy, you would not go well in the Military 🤢

Support is everything for me, a Rolls Royce is useless with poor support. Rotax have great stuff, but their newer technology can take a hike for this old Dinosaur and Jabiru are a great team, the welcoming I got at their factory was enough for me, ask any question…..got answers, no secret squirrels there. AND they are 400km from me, drop in anytime they said.

Skip, get back to me when You have had a good look at one, just getting the software out of Rotax, to setup and commission it is a nightmare and that, is only the start. Interfacing to a Dynon or Gamin is another thing 🤢

Try a cable break in a winch launched glider at 400 feet? You get a fraction of a second to do a major nose down……it’s a great training experience……

As an aside, yesterday I looked at an aircraft getting retrofitted with a new Rotax 912IS and decided after looking over the complexity of the job and the differences to the 912 UL it replaced. I would never consider doing that job. I would simply have done that job with a Gen 4 Jab motor. I would suggest ANYONE going to a 912IS is, DONT 🤢 You want to go 912IS? Just go buy a new aircraft with a factory specced one.

What about Ben Morgan and AOPA becoming involved in this situation?

Here is another’ worthy contender 🤩 https://youtu.be/zCWMfqOCBXs?si=THu3Un3tOsJzGv5c

U.S. FAA changes proposal https://www.eaa.org/~/media/0cbfb393d341470e8342c56b26662001.ashx

It would sure pay to have Aviators on Council 🤩 Maybe work towards that?

Unfortunately, airport/strip closures will become a sign of the times 🤢 https://www.facebook.com/100063952303049/posts/pfbid0RSzuGNB7GpnEoxRnSf66oU83qzsyrdicticxyf1M8YQqvrFihsZwRVKE2t48iq3Hl/?

If only Aviation in this country could wake up to itself, but I won’t hold my breath 🤢

I repost this, final destination oof a Part 103 aircraft to Oshkosh AirVenture

The EAA supports Aviation Education at all levels in a big way. https://www.aeroeducate.org/about

IF it’s smaller than a 737, they probably don’t want to know 🤢

You want kids to get into Aviation? Do what America does with FAR Part 103 hint 🤩
