Well - learning from my previous post that the old rocket can be disassembled, I did so - not that hard. So now I no longer have an old rocket to dispose of , but still have two chunks of propellant to dispose of. I have disassembled the old igniter and burned the few granules of propellant from it. Has anyone tried to burn the rocket propellant?

Thanks Roger

The BRS rocket is required to be replaced every 12 years. Thus I just did so on my 2006 CTSW. The new rocket comes as a kit since it cannot be shipped assembled. The old rocket cannot be shipped or disassembled. Since it is labeled as an explosive I wondering how best to dispose of it. Anybody else dealing with this problem?

I have a 2006 CTSW, Rotax 912ULS S/N 5.646.169 with 660 hours on the engine. The original Line Maintenance Manual specified the TBO as 12 years, 1500 hours. The 12-year requirement has now run out. However, Service Bulletin SB-912-057UL gives instruction for extending the TBO to 2000 hours, 15 years which doesn't look too onerous. However, at the bottom of page 6, the Service Bulletin reads reads: "Replacement of a crankcase part no. 888364 (to S/N 27.811) through part no. 888368 or part no. 892654 (from S/N 06.0010) is required for TBO extension. Following engines are affected 912ULS from S/N 4,427.533 to 5.646.559" My question is: Does this mean what I think it means, that my entire crankcase has to be replaced to have the TBO extended? If so what options does this leave me ---- replace entire crankcase, buy new engine or go experimental?
