Don't forget the Jabiru powered S6

Might be worth mentioning that you can also get Jabiru 80hp powered examples as an alternative to the 912. They're supposed to be lighter in wieght so carry more, esp if on a 450kg microlight permit.

Personally took one for a test flight & it was very nice but opted for the 582 version for budgetary reasons. Vne on UK S6s is 110mph, and with the Jabiru power it was possible to do it straight & level with ease.
