Nice job on the engine-out landing! Had a similar thing happen w/ my first instructor's plane, a FlightStar IISC w/ the HKS engine (which has the same model carbs as the Rotax 912); the mount for the right carb broke when we went to take off again on a T/G; noticed the right EGT go much higher than left; fortunately, we were still on the ground-roll. Replaced the mount, and continued flying...
of course you can, its called safety wire. More fun to take off and climb to a safe altitude, turn back toward the field then pull the choke out until the engine runs rough and when you're sure of making the field, cut the ignition.
Nice for keeping a cool head during a stressfull event. Good job.
Nice to have good landing options 😉🇨🇦

Smooth emergency landing. Glad you and the bird are ok.
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
If it was gonna happen it sure is good it happened then. And good landing.
Well done.
Nicely done! 👌
Well done!
I've seen this happen before on a 912 in a Tecnam - luckily that one fell off at the end of their taxi to park, as they were about to shut down.
The bus can swim.
Is there a way to change the mount so that doesn't happen?
