Geez. Move those cars out of the way and you can pretend that you're in Thunderbirds. I'm sure those trees will lie down...

Hi ALl

 

well ,sat we filled the UL with oil, tied the fusalage to a post and fired up the motor ,at idle 40 psi,at full throttle 55 psi all temps in the low range , the engine starts first pop ,being fuel injected easy start, it is a sweet sounding engine , prop balanced, no vibrations at all , the toe brakes need very little pressure to hold it ,even at full throttle all fuel lines no leaks , all electrics and gauges work final fit up and transport to get our test pilot to get it in the air ,so close ,but no rush (a little bit exited though) and we also have a hanger now .

 

cheers Gareth & Craig

 

NB .i have a video but can,t get it to load

 

 

[Kyle Communications]

Looks fabulous Gareth…. Was speaking with Trevor M today…his hand is all fine now if that is still your plan. Make sure there are several video cameras there for the first flight..depending on the rego returning from "the office" of course..

Hi Gareth,

We'll done on your build. I like the idea of the UL engine, can't wait for some feedback on your test flight. It looks like you'll have a great performer there.

Hi Mags

 

thanks for that , we have run the UL a no of times it seems that there is plenty of power to spare , but time will tell , we have confidence in the engine , all temps and pressure are in tolerences and the prop looks to be a winner , we are still waiting for paperwork to come back then we set a date for our test pilot to fly , we will be doing a few h/speed taxis ourselves to make sure the tracking and rudder imput is all good , we have just made a new bonnet for the engine , we were not happy with first one should be soon for that day , getting exited for that day , will take onboard video and outside video for posting

 

cheers Craig & Gareth
