Oil pressure rotax 912 80hp

Is it normal for the pressure to be higher at lower rpm and then lower pressure at higher rpms? Normally I would think the pressure would be higher at higher rpms? Or am I mistaken?Thanks in advance…Continue

Set of amphib floats for a 701

I picked up a set of CZ1200 amphib floats. I was going to mount them on my 701 but have decided I will not go the amphib route. Going to stay on my big wheels. I want around 8500 CAD for them. They have lower fittings machined up, and some upper ones for the Zenith 701. Included the hydraulic pumps also. Anyone interested please email me at charlesneels at hotmail dot com ThanksSee More

Hi Charles,

I have not flown my airplane yet with the floats, as I got distracted with other projects. However, the rough struts lengths I was using was 29" rear, 53" diagonal, and 34" forward. I would be interested to see how this compares with other numbers you have found.

Hi Charles, 

Are you finding the 80 hp to be

enough, or do you think you 

would want to go for the hundred hp.
