Just looked at the Airshow website. Not impressive. I was led to believe the SAAA was exhibiting, also Bert Flood imports, I wanted to talk Rotax to someone, specifically alleged multiple gearbox failures in the 912iS and maybe a look at the new turbo engine. Neither company is mentioned as an exhibitor.
I had an enjoyable time talking with SAAA representatives at Avalon yesterday as well as talking with Bert Flood imports about their range of Rotax engines and also questioned them on the alleged gearbox issues on the IS engines caused by owners using 72 inch props rather than 68 as the gear box specifications are different on this engine.

Sunfish - you had your eyes closed dude... although in your defence, maybe you went too early and they weren't set up yet.
