Wondering when they will get the Rotax 915 to market.

But then I am still waiting on the Zoche diesel radial.

It’s been shipping for over a year now. Kitfox was one of the early test installations.

When will it be part of the listed of potential engines from Kitfox?

Kitfox Aircraft has it listed in their Parts and Accessories Catalog. On their website click on the “Store” button right under the “Home” button. When that page loads then click on the PDF version of the Parts Catalog. Scroll to page 25. It’s been there a while now.
I flew the factory STi with the 915. Quite a performer.

What is the cruise speed on the STi with the 915? And fuel consumption.

I have seen its performance as a STOL.

It is listed on the Series 7 Kit Pricing / Order sheet on their site.

From what I understand its around 37 for the 915, then about 8 for the firewall forward accessories, 16 for the prop, then 3 and a half if you want to have automated prop control.
Thats to update a V with the 100 hp 912.
Should be a fair amount of labor in there too.
