Upgrading Rotax 912UL (80HP) to Rotax 914UL (115HP), experience anyone?

Dear all,

I am a Rotax 912UL owner, (80HP) currently upgrading to a bigger aircraft, and therefore I have the 912ULS with 100 horses version in mind.

However, I will have to sell my 80HP Rotax to be able to invest the money into my new machine……….and selling it proves to be rather hard to do!

So somebody called my attention to this site:

Bully Hawk Aero Performance, Rotax Performance and Upgrade Kits

It is about upgrading from 912UL to 914UL, in other words from 80HP to 115HP.

Naturally, they talk about it like it´s the 8th miracle of the world, but I call upon you, experienced aviators; those who know all the tricks in the book and more: "is this really as good as it sounds, considering maintenance costs, reliability, performance & TBO figures"?

For your reference, my Rotax has about a 1000 hours on.


Best regards,
