Smooth, strong and light, 5 gallons an hour in cruise, absolutely *no* issues to date. If you want smooth you ought to fly behind a Jabiru or the poor man's version the Corvair. 6 is better than 4 for smoothness. I've heard good things about them and it's simple physics that 6 would be smoother than 4. OTOH, my plane wouldn't be a Light Sport if it had that much power. The 912 has to be derated by reducing the prop pitch as it is. What are you flying?
