It's truly a nice engine at $40,000+. In my opinion they need to bring back the 503. Rotax put it out there then pulled it off the market. It's not very fair to those who rely on it. It is a great engine. I believe Garmin has the constant speed set up already. Take care, Be safe.
Rumor has it there is a 916 variant with 160 horses. Was it a bristell rep that just casually said it was coming.. I forget. I still think they need to dial back the price, 40k is absurd but 160 horses could be significant. Will make some european birds start to go fast.

Bring back the 503, some times it's not always about the money, customers count too.
It’s a bit over priced tbh, there’s nearly no difference from a lycoming other than altitude compensation and a little weight savings

A TBO of only 1200 hours??? No thanks!
