Can our rotax 915is use 93 with ethanol ? If so what would the down side be ? anything more than the increased oil change interval that we already expect ?

is it a realistic option to be able to take it out when I want to carry a larger payload? Nope, that is not (really) possible. We are weeks away from the final weighing of ours with a couple of modifications: 1. Removal of the elevator counterweight as per the SB 2. A full IFR suite (fair bit of we...

Should be able to fly with only one engine (emergencies, etc.) Will a single 915iS do this? A It would depend on the rest of the aircraft structure. A second engine doesn't add much in the way of speed or load, if in the event of a failure it still wants to be a capable single engine plane. Maybe t...

I't's doable for sure, just look at the climb rate of the P2006t I've been thinking about picking up a P2006T with timed out engines and then going through the process of an STC to put in 915's. I figure the cost would be the plane plus 150k. When you add up the cost of building a high wing TSI or ...

That is very nice of you to be so patient with them. And also very good of them to be so responsive to problems. But it would still be better if items were not missing to start with. Especially given the lead time and shipping times for items. In my business, we ship customers lots of parts and they...

Agreed. a twin rotax 915 with 1200lbs useful ( need more useful cause it will require more fuel ) with 160k plus would be amazing. And if it had a chute it would truly be a first in its class. I'd buy it as fast as possible.

The P2006t is interesting. but agreed, it needs the 915 and more useful.

Sling says in a few months they will start working on something new...

A 6 seater would be nice, but because of the low amount of horsepower the 915 has... it might have to be a dual engine... which would also be nice.

6 seater, dual engines,,, maybe retracable gear !!! wow !! that would be awesome.

Okay. Thanks.

Makes sense.

So... Brainstorming... Putting the chute in the front of the TSI like the sling 2 does, sure would solve some aft cg issues. The magnum is larger so it can't be done.. But the BRS is smaller... BRS has a new chute for the Sling TSI. Its model ccubsI-08. Its based off the cub. Its dimensions are, 14....

Does the quickbuild include the canopy installation ? Is it riveted and sika in place ?

Does it include installation of the piece in front of the canopy and behind the cowling, that covers up the ecu ?
