About the engines and Turbos
The Rotax 912 S is a 100 Horsepower engine with
excellent performance.
The Rotax 914 is an 80 HP engine block that Rotax has added a Garrett Turbo to
and boosted it to 115 HP for 5 minutes then full time 100 HP. It has been a very popular engine for many years
and is used by the US military in the Predator Drones. The 914 does
provide continuous sea level performance of 100 HP to over 12,000 feet.
The 912 RST model uses the same 80 HP Rotax engine
used in the 914. This engine has been fitted with
a Mitsubishi Turbo that gives full time turbo boost. At full power this
engine develops 122 Horsepower and is excellent for heavier loads or high
