    Does anybody know if it would fit the same engine mount as I have for my 912ULS?

    Can the system be retrofitted to existing 912ULS engines and if so what will be the cost.

    OK guys.. As many of you know we are a OEM for Rotax.. we are on the inside.. and Rotax kept the iS thing pretty quiet.. As far as pricing on the iS.. we haven't received any info on the pricing yet.. just speculation from Rotax.

    Will it fit on the existing 4, 5, 6 or 7SS mounts.. We do not know but will certainly find out. We suspect that the 7SS mounts will not be an issue.. the 4, 5 and 6 mounts may not work.. unless it is the 5 or 6 round cowling.

    John, keep us apprised of any developments on the iS. Since I haven't ordered my 912 yet, I may be interested in installing the iS. Depending on the price of course. Isn't aviation exciting?!

    thanks for the videos Eric.It looks like the ECU and the Fuel system is on the pilot side of the fire wall. Will there be enough room for all of that in a Kitfox IV?

    I want one...any one up for a 912S, less than 200 hours, runs perfect
