what is everyone using to lift the engine.
I have a engine hoist, understand a special bracket is needed to lift it for install

I lifted mine (912uls) with straps under the intake manifolds per the instructions in the Rotax installation manual. Probably this wouldn't apply to the 912is.

there are clearly designated lift lugs on the 912is. I used shackeles to those points and and block and tackle attached to my shed roof beams to hoist to position.
