Right. My 912s shook like a wet dog at first and had to be hard on the airframe but I kept tweaking the carbs and my startup/shutdown technique and now it's fine. The fix for me was getting rid of those retarded flex cables and going to solid rods. The carbs will actually stay synched now and idle adjustment is much more precise. Made it a whole lot smoother.
I had originally planned on using the 80HP 912 til I thought about the mountain trips I had planned. I consider the 912S necessary for any kind of high density altitude flying. And it makes it a radical performer at low altitude...lots of fun. Pricey though.
