Recently I have flown my Sportcopter M912 with a Turbo fitted to the Rotax 912 (ULS) engine producing around 135 HP. This is the proto type produced by Steve Paulet in Melbourne to fit a Sportcopter M912 airframe. A Rotax 914 will not fit onto a M912 airframe.

In short, I was very pleased with the result! Although I have only been able to do about 1 hour of testing, here are my initial observations.
• Climb – at least 50% greater.
• Cruise speed – 10+ knots faster at less RPM
• Take-off – the initial acceleration is significantly faster
• The most interesting thing which I didn’t expect was that when doing some low level “mustering” type tight turns and wing over type turns the machine didn’t seem to bog down when the rotors were loaded up. I had not expected this to be an advantage with the greater power (more correctly torque I expect) but it made it easier and more relaxing (less work on the gyro) to do this type of manoeuvring.
• Although I have not had time to check fuel usage, I have observed from flying cross country with Steve with his 912 Turbo TEX that the fuel consumption is noticeable better than cruising at the same speed with a non-turboed 912.

I used my existing Warp Drive prop with 15 degrees pitch but I expect a wide cord, Bolly prop will give better results than the Warp Drive.

Steve has done many hours of testing of this turbo set up on his Dyno at high RPM and high loads as well as clocking over 150 hours on his personal TEX gyro with a motor which was second hand when he started, having 2,000TT, with not troubles.

I am feeling quite confident that this is a winning set up to get better performance from a Rotax 912 while retains Rotax reliability.

For those who want more performance with their M912 for mustering in low air density, hot conditions I think this is a good solution. I am also looking at this as an option for the new M2 2 seater, when it arrives later this year.

We've had alot of inquiries on whether we do engine overhauls, yes we do! Any inquiries feel free to ask.
