As they say, the only dumb questions are the ones not asked. Looking at price of a new 912iS and comparing to the Powerplant Kit purchased from Van's, there is about a $12,000 difference. I'm guess it boils down to one being an engine and the other being a kit, including prop, engine mount, etc? I listened to a YouTube video that was basically a podcast about the engine. It was stated that at TBO, it would nearly be as economical to core charge the engine and get a new one. Opinions? Looking at the -12 as a short crosscountry/trainer platform for my young family.
As always,
Thanks!
