Phil,

I don't think anyone really knows the reliability of this engine and
gearbox. It hasn't been in service long enough.

Are you kidding? These have been in service in huge numbers for well
over a decade. The original Diamond Katana was introduced with them.
These engines are VERY proven. It may have happened outside the US (and
thus outside the advertising range of "Flying" and thus outside their
editorial coverage), but trust me, it still happened.

I thought the 912 was fairly new. I can't find a history of the
engine. Anybody know when they first came out?


1987. They gained certification in 1989
