UL260i aero engine

[Fly with Gus]

Hi all,

I have been getting a few calls asking if, or when, a ULPower UL260i FWF package would be available for the RV-12.
www. ulpower.com

The UL260i is now rated at 97hp and the 260iS is at 107hp.

I'd like to offer a very good deal to anyone that would like to work with me in getting a FWF going for the 12. For example I would build your forward fuselage, and develop a FWF and install and test it for the cost of materials and engine. Or maybe a better solution, I am open to ideas. I would like to complete this by spring and have it tested by Sun n Fun.

I am located in Edgewater FL, midway between Daytona Beach and Cape Canaveral. Please email me at [email protected]

Thanks,

nice as the UL260 is...

... like the Jabiru's the required power comes at a very high engine/prop speed

'tis a shame the perfect non-Rotax LSA engine has yet to be built - everything yet is too small or too heavy.
