Thanks for posting on RUclips! It gives us a chance to ask questions/ make observations over time and not just during Webinars.

Thanks for the presentation, and the background development. I've been flying a Onex with the 912, originally 80 HP, and now maybe 95ish. I made my own firewall mount to use the ring mount. My cowl and installation will probably never be finished, but fortunately I enjoy the development part more than flying I think. BTW, I'll be interested to see how long that muffler wrap lasts. I had the best you could buy on my Toucan exhaust, and it crumbled in less than 20 hrs. I ended up switching to stainless shields.

Uhh,, I think your new highwing is going to be your best seller! Don,t go for stol back country!! That segment is hugely saturated!!! Stick to a high speed cross country machine liked the Tailwind but modernized!

Rotax probably the most expensive engine per horsepower!

12 minutes in, still no rotax... Cutting to the chase, so y'all don't waste anymore time, it's a rotax bash session and all recommendations are steering elsewhere. I quit watching at 20min.
