David,
I am building fuselage. Nearly ready to disassemble forward 1/2 and begin assmbly and final riveting of completed back to front cabin area. I had wings and all controls done, but now must take wings apart to do upgrade. I was lucky I could incorporate upgrade into cabin area as I built. I hope to have fuselage on gear in the next couple of months.
Engine? Corvair, then Jabiru, now very serious about ul260i. I really like discussion of UL engine and talked to Ray who has a 260 installed in a 650 and is selling them along with Gus Warren. He is very high on performance and weight, I just am concerned that the design is so new. Will the company be around? Continued Euro devaluation is really making engine look like a buy also. This Ray had a WW corvair and liked it, but said this engine out performs Jab 3300, believe it or not.
Check out the UL Power site and tell me what you think of engine. I was interested in the 350, but this Ray said 260 is so good, he would only consider 350 for mountainous areas. I would really appreciate someone elses thoughts on trying such a new engine as all designs surely have some growing pains.
thanks for the communication, Jerry

David,
I am in Fairbury which is S.E. of Lincoln on the NB KS border. I actually live only 3 miles north of the state line.
