The engine (UL 520T) has shipped from the factory. Ordered March 20, was ready to ship in late June. Also, prop is ready to ship as well once they receive the funds. Big steps coming.
Engine mount received from Francois C.
Engine received on July 15!
Going to be a month or so before the engine is mounted. Targeting mid August.
Originally I had the pre-filters and pumps on the cage, under the header in the cockpit. The new UL pre filters are much larger, and reusable. I had to relocate to the firewall. Also, the coils and regulator are now mounted.
This new arrangement makes header tank situation much easier to deal with. Just a single 1/2" line from the output of the header tank to the firewall. The firewall bulkhead fitting had to be increased from -6 to -8 (3/8 to 1/2")
The above is the required UL power capacitor. According to UL, this allows you to shut off the battery during flight. Not sure I would want to do that.
