Watched the EAA Homebuilders Week video linked here:
https://players.brightcove.net/62700807 ... 3553347001Mark starts talking about the One Week Wonder Waiex B project which will have a Rotax 912is engine installed at the 57 min 10 second mark of the video. Their install will maintain the clean cowl with no extra cutouts for radiator like most Rotax powered aircraft (such as my RV12). I really like the split Radiator design as well as the Exhaust/routing... Simple. While the cockpit is small, you could conceivable have a passenger and pilot side heater controls. Pulling heat of the radiators and using an louvred baffle to vary the amount of air that passes through each radiator. Search 'Bender Baffle' on the Van's Airforce RV-12 board to get an idea. The bed mount does pretty much prevent a turbo install, but I'm not too concerned about that. You could always do a big bore and get about 120hp.
I'm temped by the B Model, but patiently waiting for the High Wing. Of note, Mark also mentioned no Waiex version of the high wing. It'll be a Sonex tail only. I'm good with that as I prefer less complexity and less weight on the tail.
