Greetings,
 
I just noticed that this year's winner of the best non-certified engine is a Europa, with what looks like a 912S/912ULS. 
 
SNF Awards:
 
 
Europa Builders page showing engine:
 
 
What's up with this?  While the 912ULS is not certified, I understand that it's the same as the 912S, which is certified.  The only difference I'm aware of is the price and paperwork.  This also appears to be the standard engine for the Europa.  Hard to believe this should win over people who use truly alternate engines, and roll their own FWF installation.
 
This gives me an idea.  My RV-8 has an AeroSport O-360 that just arrived.  Since this is an "experimental only" engine, I should be able to enter the "best non-certified engine" judging next year :-)
