Ive not seen an X air standard with a 912 but I have a n Xair F with
the 912, in fact mines was the development prototype in the UK.
The 912 does not give any performance advantage over a 2 stroke but
you get a lot less gliding practice.
The modifications to the normal x air f to fit the 912 were:-
special engine mount where the engine sits further back than a 2
stroke. The oil reservoir is not in the wing but at the back of the
engine
The front engine struts are the standard part but cut shorter.
Lightweight floor
Lightweight air suspension
Lightweight digital instruments
Lightweight wheels
The battery is shoved as far back in the tail as possible.
Rather than modify an xair standard, it would be far easier to
modify an Xair F. There are plenty around with poor engines going
cheap.

Thank you all for your information, we did the calculation and it
can work. If it was already developed, we can buy it because 2T it
is not an option anymore. It is an engine of the past, but X-air
it is still an aircraft for the present. Of course it is needed to
update, one of it the engine.
For sure not better performance because aerodinamic it is like it
is, but consume and engine reliability.
We saw some pictures about, but if i understand right, it was
never in production, right?
Other question, Randkar from france is it not working anymore?,
also most of dealers of Xair disapear. Also in uk, Irland or
India??
Thank you all for your quick response
