UL power engine runs in a -4.
My buddy, Ray Lawrence, ran his UL Power engine in his -4 yesterday and it was smooth as silk.
AM Composites now has a cowl for the -6, 7 and -8, -9 models completed and motor mounts are being assembled to accommodate the UL power engines. You can see the cowl at:

Ray plans on being at Sun 'n Fun with the cowls, engines and quite possibly, his -4.
Best,

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. The engine certainly sounds great in this Rans installation: https://www.facebook.com/40943737581...1530678607197/

This engine is the biggest one, so far...200 HP with a three-speed prop. 3,000 revs for take off, 2800 for climb and 2600 for cruise..electric prop.....also has a feathered position.
Fadec system continually adjusts mixture and RPM for max efficiency.
Best,

I flew the 180 HP 6-cylinder last spring, and yes, it is a pleasant motor. Felt and sounded like one of my favorites, the old O-300 6-cylinder Continental.

I did a little research on UL's new 200HP engine, seems like a great option. They even have an inverted oil system for it. Fadec would be really nice.
I'm very interested, only problem is the 1000 hour overhaul. But they claim its just because its a new engine and they are still testing it.
I think its is rated for 200 HP at 3200 rpm, 182 HP at 2800.
