Hey friends. I am needing a way to control and light up my strip for night landings. My runway is short, on an increasing uphill slope, and is definitely one-way. I am getting the lighting the way I…Continue

I noticed in an article in the latest Kitplanes magazine that your building a 750SD and intend to install a UL 520T.  As it happens I'm well on my way to completing my 750SD and have a UL520T sitting on the floor ready to install.  I tried sending you an invitation to be one of your "friends" to communicate but for some reason it doesn't work.  Therefore I'm not sure just how we can communicate. Let me know if we can set something up.  Cheers Bob

Hi Jon, I have a new UL Power cowling, unwanted, and it looks nice. But don't get excited, I'm building a CruZer in South Australia! I was originally going for a UL i350, but switched to a Viking 130. I shipped a full plane kit and the UL cowl & engine mount as one to save on freight. As an exercise, I could take it's re-packaged dimensions off to the post office(or similar) and just enquire as to what it would cost to ship. It would be interesting. As it is, I may have to re-model the front bit of my Viking cowl, so your thread will be worth following. My email jheatheraus at gmail.com
