Anybody seen the latest Rotax Mandatory SB on the  912 mandating changing out a bunch of gearboxes? Looking for more info  here...wondering if this is just more Rotax hand wringing/liability BS or if  this one is real...I have one that's been in service for 1 Year 2 months with  117 hours on it. Let's see if there is any factory assistance on it. This is the  kind of BS that drives people out of aviation.

Note a 912 guy but might your insurance look negatively at you not following a mandatory SB on the engine in your plane?

Hi Joe,



I have enjoyed reading your posts on the Zenith list for the last couple of years.  



I have the 912ULS and got the Service Bulletin about the Gearbox.  Fortunately, our S/N is not included in the affected gearboxes.  



I think that Rotax has experienced a lot of growth in the markets they serve with the 912/914 engines.  It looks to me like they are the victim of suppliers who might not have met the material specifications for component parts.  This sounds like a lot of the same problems that Lycoming and Continental experienced over the last several decades.  



I do hope that Rotax steps up to the plate and helps the affected owners with repairs.



I am glad though that Rotax is doing the things necessary to keep the owners up to date about problems and letting us know what to do to correct those problems (I may sing a different tune when/if I have to shell our $$$$ to fix problems   ).  What if we didn't have this resource to let us know about problems?



Flying is an expensive hobby isn't it? !
