Our Stemme S10 Motor-glider uses a Stemme specific Rotax 914 turbo/intercooled/115HP.
The engine has been generally reliable, although it hates 100LL, and will foul its tiny motorcycle sized spark plugs quickly with the leaded fuel. The aircraft/engine combo requires either 100LL or 95 RON non ethanol unleaded, which can be difficult to find and expensive. I end up using VP or Sunoco race fuel.
Since this is BITOG, I use Mobil 1, 10W-40 Racing 4t motorcycle oil in the engine. It meets the engine's requirements when operated with unleaded fuels.
Due to the nature of the gear reduction, the engine is a rattling monster at idle, with gear lash and prop v crank inertia adding up to noise. However, once the RPM increases, the operation is quite smooth and pleasant.
One other note, these engines are not more efficient than modern variants of Lycoming or Continental, in fact, only the 916 approaches the BSFC numbers of a 50 year old Lycoming. The reason owners are thrilled with the engines is the low fuel burn, at about 5 gal/hr (or sometimes less) but remember, they are producing very little power at those fuel burn numbers.
