Rotax 912ULS with 912UL crank and crankcase

All,I have the opportunity to purchase a Rotax 912ULS with 912UL crank and crankcase. What are the PROs and CONs? I can purchase a 912ULS that has been rebuilt with a 912UL crank and crankcase. What would be any issues?KeithCH701 scratch buildingSee More

Hi Keith
Check out https://www.casa.gov.au same as FAA ref Licence
Building would not be a problem
Be aware freight USA to Aust is very expensive that would be the main drawback
Cheers

Hello Keith,

My GPS track data shows I passed within 3 miles of your house at 9:53 am.  I was coming south from Centennial (KAPA) on my way to Pike's Peak. The picture was taken 3 minutes after that at 9:56 am.  I flew within .5 miles of the top of Pike's Peak at 10:03 am.

By the way, later that same day I flew all the way home.  I got into Santa Rosa about 10:00pm.  Talk about a long flight!

Hi Keith,

Sorry to be so slow in acknowledging your comment... I need to check in more often!  My 750 project (building from a kit) is going well.  The empennage, wings, slats, and flapirons are done for the most part, and the rear fuselage is almost done.  I hope to get a hangar at FNL (Fort Collins/Loveland), but the waiting list is long, so I might have to go to GXY (Greeley).  GXY and FNL are both good airports, but FNL is a lot closer!

Thanks for your kind words Keith. Are you building from scratch? If yes, now that's amazing......Nice photos of the wildlife too.

Hello Keith,

have a Garmin 495 GPS. After every flight I use the GPS information to update my pilot’s log book and I also download the track of the flight using Garmin’s Trip and Waypoint manager (also known as Map Source). I name the flight and save it to my hard disk. I also copy and paste the flight into my master track log which I also maintain in Map source. Sometimes I export a flight from Map Source in .GPX format which allows me to imported it into Google Earth where I can “re-fly” the trip.
