TSi Test Flight with NEW Rotax 915 Engine

Before we could take the TSi to SUN 'n FUN this year, we needed to replace the engine for the SECOND time! Jean and Wayne completed the test flight early in the morning which included flying the pattern, flying in the PV practice area, and flying around Catalina Island.

Cool video. So how many hours were on engines 1 and 2. Any problems with them?

Both engine 1 & 2 had about 1,200 hours on them. No problems with either engine, it was just time to change them. Thanks for asking!
