Neat! The experimental spirit lives on! I think lots of people are going to be watching your progress closely on this one. Please keep us up-to-date regularly with all the good and bad of your experience with this engine. It sure looks promising.

Default UL Power Engine.

We have done an initial mounting of the engine on a first generation mount.
We will be weighing the RV this week to to verify the installation.
It appears that we may be able to move the engine 6" to 8" closer to the firewall, if so we may be able to adapt the Rotax Supplied Cowl.

Imageshack sucks - loads of pop up ads. I found it really difficult to view the pictures ...

Default UL260Is Engine Weight

The bare engine weight is 132 lbs.

Installed weight with accessories of the 107 HP engine system is 162 lbs. That includes dual fuel pumps, oil cooler,muffler, ignition coils and ECU.

Some of these items will be mounted aft of the engine on the fire wall or behind it.

I will post a picture of the intial mounting this evening, If I do not forget to bring the camera home from the Hangar

Default can't wait to see how this install goes

definitely looks like another good alternative.
