 |
|
The Zenith factory site has some pictures and data on a new Rotax 912 FWF kit for the 701. It looks quite aerodynamic. Anyone now what kind of cruise and top speed improvements might be expected. Are they going to include fairings for the wing struts too?
Thanks,
Lou

I stopped by for a visit a couple of weeks ago while traveling along I-70. I talked with the guy who was working on the new radiator and oil cooler mounts. He said they were changing to a Ring Mount for the 912ULS at Rotax's suggestion to lessen vibration. They designed new cowling too. The oil cooler will be located in front of the passenger seat with a NACA vent providing ventilation.
No mention of fairings, etc...
Thanks,

Anticipating 912ULS purchase for my kit 701 in about 6 months, I look forward to a rigorous, realistic comparison with in-flight data, if possible, between the new Zenith and SportShops Firewall Forward Packages. I enjoy opinions, love facts. And I have had very good experience with both Zenith and SportShops.
