RNN:It is an honor to be able to sit down and talk to the inventor on the CANaerospace Protocol, Mr. Michael Stock. Thank you and welcome to Sun-n-Fun 2012! MS: No thank you.  It is great to be here. RNN: Let’s start off with the basics. What is a CAN Bus? MS: The CAN Bus like many other serial databuses combines data on one end and serializes it and sends it over the bus at a very high speed so it can be re-tracked on the other end. Basically it is there to save wires. If we were to transmit information on dedicated wires we would have a huge bundle. And the Bus actually reduces that to two wires...

BRP released it’s 912iS promotional video.

Farchach, Germany (March, 12th, 2012) – Stock Flight Systems has successfully flight tested the Engine Management Unit for BRP’s new Rotax® 912iS aero engine.

We have have been getting several reoccurring questions: How much is it? Pricing is currently not available.  Bear in mind the the following: - The iS comes standard with the electric fuel pump pack, ASTM qualified, to the fire requirements. - The iS also has a complete exhaust system. - The iS has a Rotax ring mount. - The iS incorporates an air-box on the engine. - The iS has a 430 charging system dedicated to the airframe side (430/13.7=32 amps) which is double the  size of the current ULS. (so no real need for external alternator) Can I retro-fit the injection to the engine? NO, it is a new...

Today, BRP announced that they will  add an electronic fuel injected model to their successful 912 line of aircraft engines. Called the 912 iS, it will fall into the 100 hp category.  So, will this be the end of the carb models we know and love?  The feedback we have been given is, NO.  The 912 iS will not be a replacement for the 912 ULS, rather the factory will keep producing new models. Will there be a cost increase in this new engine compared to the 912 ULS?  YES.  While we have not been given a suggested retail price, the engine comes with many things that are not included with the 912...
