Roger Lee Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 https://sideslipaviation.com/ Found this site while looking for some carb overhaul parts. Holly cow what a price reduction. Prices are 30% - 50% cheaper. I talked to them and they told me they just buy straight from the part Mfg just like Rotax in Austria does and cut out all the high priced middlemen from the Rotax service centers. I saw a couple after market parts, but most were regular Rotax parts. I purchased a Bing carb overhaul kit that has twice as many parts for a whole lot cheaper price. The parts are directly from Bing and no middleman to add to cost. I'll be buying more from them in the future. I would advise though to buy real Rotax parts and not aftermarket parts. i.e. oil filters, ect.... p.s. No shipping charge for orders over $99 and no tax.

Anticept Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 They have that silent hektic regulator! https://sideslipaviation.com/products/regulator-rectifier-hektik-4124 That's the one that shined in Chanik's testing, and I couldn't get one because they wouldn't ship to the US.

Ken Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 They are great to deal with too. To the moderators: Can we start a topic section on spare part options, please? There are a number of small businesses that manufacture or offer original parts at vastly less expensive prices than Rotax for the same or better quality.

FWIW, my daughter lives in Germany so years ago I got the Silent Hektik alternator that Chanik liked. I switched it out for the BandC that has been discussed on this forum.

Anticept Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have kept that one saved to look at. I need one in my hands to build a test bench to see what it does under heavy load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctbob Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I bought one item from them and later needed another different part that was not in stock. I got a reply as to an inquiry about future availability and was quickly replied to. Great customer service recovery. Will use them whenever I can.

Roger Lee Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Side Slip doesn't have tons of Rotax 912ULS parts, but the ones they have are a lot cheaper. p.s. They also have a few aftermarket parts which I'd stay away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
