Hi All,
I just spoke with Dave Dent, the guy who has those 912's for sale. He's just finished up work with the DOD on UAVs and is selling off inventory. (Thanks, Bruce, for the orginal tip on this).
He said it'd be OK to put his phone number out as he's got 3 912ULs he wants to clear out of his hanger. New, in the box, already preserved. Significant savings over new. My deal with him for a 914 couldn't have gone better. All the 914s are gone though.
Call him at 925-337-0115 (cell) if you're interested. He's in the Oakland, CA area but shipped mine to me hassle free.
Dan

Dan,
I was not surprised to hear that you had great success dealing with Dave
Dent in acquiring your Rotax 914. The prices for his new, still-in-the-box
engines are extremely attractive, and I expect that the people who buy his
remaining Rotax 912 engines will be equally pleased.
Dave is well known locally as a good-guy, and his knowledge of Rotax engines
is incredible. He would likely be a good technical contact for Paul M. who
has recently shared on this list his interest in developing a Rotax
fuel-injection system. I would think that perhaps someone like Dave Dent who
has developed and tested Rotax modifications that allow a 914 to output 80HP
at an altitude of 80,000 feet might know something about optimizing fuel
flow to the cylinders.
Regards,
Bruce L.

Bruce,
Yes I have spoken with Dave and I am buying one of his 914's. What he
doesn't know about Rotax's and fuel injection isn't worth knowing.
Paul
do not archive

Bruce,
Good to hear from you. I just wanted to say thanks again for putting that original post up about Dave. I was in the deep, dark well of stress over which engine to go with and got a lot of really good from the community about Jabiru's, Subaru's, and others when that deal came up. I went into this project orginally not wanting to compromise but the Rotax prices were about to scare me off. Getting the deal on a brand new 914 really took that stress away. I seem to remember that Dave's asking in the 16k range for the 912ul's; not a bad deal at all.
Paul,
Glad to see you were able to get with Dave too. Good luck with your fuel injection mod.
Anyway, thanks again. Happy building, safe flying,
Dan
