    I'm new owner of iS Sport. And this is my first aircraft. I have bought Bristell UL from Czech republic this year.
    My first thanks I would like to say person from Rotax company in Czech who advised me to buy iS Sport.
    My second thanks to producer of this engine.
    I like iS Sport even though I have some problems with oil temperature (sometimes it's in yellow zone).
    And I had problem with connectors air temperature and air pressure but I have solved it using the plastic straps.

    I have constant speed prop. And it's very important advice for this combination when temperature more then +30C to climb with full throttle. Because I had high temperature of exhaust temperature of gas (yellow zone) when I reduced throttle during climb to 80%. And now I do it in this way: climb to 1000 feet and change pitch of propeller and then reduce throttle to green zone (before 850C).

    But consumption is very few.) (I have car with 5,7L engine and I can compare).
    The noise from this engine is very nice.
    The vibration very weak.
    Till now I have 180 hours.
    Aircraft is new and I have spent a lot of time to understand all istruments and increase my skills like pilot and service of this aircraft.

    What else?
    Now I would like to cross my country Ukraine. It's more then 1000 km and now I'm training for that.)

    Just rolled over 75 hours. Still running like a champ! Oil change last weekend yielded no anomalies.
