any of them wouldn't work now. The 'real Rotax' filters have pressure
relief bypasses built in ..... maybe the others do too .... I liked the
FRAM, and used the CTC ones mostly, for 1,000 hours of trouble free
flying ... Did change oil mostly at 25 hours - pretty cheap insurance !
What is the latest oil recommendation ??
The spark plugs should be OK for a 912 -- not likely for the "S" ...
That number was originally suggested by Rotax, with the revised harness.
The battery - wellll, these days I guess most folks would be using
the Odyssey sealed batteries... not that the old one wouldn't work,
but you don't need a fancy box & drain for the Odysseys ..
Of course, Rotax say you should ONLY use 'genuine Rotax' parts -
and I guess you have to, for warranty .... Personally, I'd still be
inclined to break in (maybe 200 hours) with Castrol GTX oil - just so
it wears a bit & seats in --- nothing wears with the synthetic !!
Also, I would still be running 100 LL when travelling - it's waaay
too much hassle to get mogas - and quality is very variable on the road,
and it's politically un-nice to stop at an FBO and not buy his fuel,
especially since you use so little anyway .... But that's just me ...

Any update to this? I know the oil has changed. Are spark plugs and oil
filters still the same?

Hi Everybody !
I've collected all the numbers for various bits for the 912-powered
Rebel that I've used over the years. Might be handy to have in one place,
considering it might be sold soon.....
(It's advertised in Sept. COPA for only $47,000, and I've already had
<2> (lowball) offers !)
I hope some of these might be useful for those of you already
building or flying Rebels with the Rotax 912 (or 912-S). <I> think
that this is a GREAT recipe for a FUN flying machine that is CHEAP to
run ! Cruise at 97 mph, stall at 30, carry hundreds of pounds of camping
gear, and burn only 3 gallons/hour of auto fuel !!! Hard to beat !
And, it performs very well on Murphy 1500 straight floats, too !
(See the front of the Murphy brochure ! ;-) )
All of these are for the Rotax 912.
Here are the numbers for oil filters I've used:
-----------------------------------------------
Canadian Tire 17-1748-8
Fram PH3614
NAPA 1348
Purolator FC603
K-Mart K0241
Oil is :
---------
Canadian Tire 2000 Synthetic 15-50
Mobil 1 Synthetic 20-50
Castrol GTX 20-50
Castrol GTX 40 (for hot summer conditions)
The spark plugs I now use are:
------------------------------
NGK DCPR7E - from an auto parts jobber, in boxes of 10 (~$2.50
ea.)
The battery is:
---------------
Canadian Tire CTC-27-1014-0 (12-N14-3A)
(Motorcycle/lawn tractor)
Exhaust stack extentions: (for stock Murphy mufflers)
--------------------------
Canadian Tire CTC 12-8590B/07770 (1 1/2" ID)
Ignition key switch:
--------------------
Echlin KS 6180 (from automotive jobber)
Prop is:
--------
GSC ground adjustable 2 blade - 72", model M670 (pitch is about
40") (GSC also has a NICE variable-pitch prop for about $1,500 !)
--------------

----------------------------
Hope some of this is useful - please pass it on.
