Rotax Soft Start Module
Today I was talking with a technician at Lockwood concerning wiring of a 912uls...During the conversation he asked if I was installing a Soft Start Module. I had not heard of this so he explained it. I was wondering if anyone has installed it and if they noticed a difference in the starting?

I have flown another LSA on several occasions with the module and it does make for a smoother start. If I had the 100 hp,I would install it.

The ULS is an extremely violent motor on start and shut down. These modules definitely help on taming the start.

Re: Rotax Soft Start Module
It sounds like this module is a good investment if you experience the rough start with your 100 HP engine. The reading I have found indicates a couple things that will promote these rough starts and sometimes kick-backs...
1. Long battery runs 2. An old or weak battery.
Since I will have a very short battery run and a new battery, I will hold off on this $220 investment and see how it goes.
