ROTAX 912: Chasing the perfect idle RPM

Written by

Chasing The Perfect Idle RPM

The highs and lows.

  Is there a perfect idle rpm for the 912 series engine? This has been a widely discussed and at times a hotly debated item on many forums. The simple answer is NO. Set the idle where you want and/or need it, but do it for the right reason. This answer may surprise you, but it shouldn’t and I’ll address this later in the article.

BRP introduces a more powerful 135-hp Rotax aircraft engine at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin – the Rotax 915 iS.

 In our technical articles library and a recent video, we have examined the process of connecting a notebook computer to the 914 Turbocharger Control Unit so that you may calibrate or monitor it using the appropriate TLR software packages. This is not a difficult task, and connection is generally painless when using a computer that is equipped with a "standard" DB9 RS-232 serial port.
