Rotax 914

[Luca Milesi]

Dear Savannah builders and pilots,

 the construction of my plane slowly progresses even though the great work of COVID testing and vaccinations in my pharmacy keeps me very busy. 
I'm sorting out the problem of the mounts for the Dynon autopilot servos (thanks to you all for pictures and advice) and now I'd like to take on a new challenge: Mounting a rotax 914 in my Savannah.

In the swiss Alps we often fly up to 13.000 - 15.000 ft.

Kyle told me about some Savannahs with the 914 in Australia.
What are the biggest problems?
Engine Castle?
Weight and balance?
Fuel return lines?
Anything else?
I would be very grateful for advice.
In the meantime I send you a picture of the new seats received today from ICP

Luca, nice looking seat covers!

Are these to go on the adjustable seats: if so, they appear to have a very high back compared to the original adjustable seats. Have ICP modified the seats also?

[Luca Milesi]

Good evening IBob, no they don’t are adjustable.

They are not standard by ICP and I ordered they with the kit one year ago but they was long time out of stock.

They are well made and very light.

Hi Luca,

 

Are these (non-adjustable) seats an ICP option? ...or were they custom made just for you?
