I ran the UL260iS yesterday, started on the first few turns. Initially had no rpm gauge and fuel coming out of sight gauge vent due to fuel returning at 120 LPH. Stopped engine, blocked off vent (to replumb later) and adjusted smart avionics controller tacho settings. Again ran engine but now with no fuel problems and rpm readings. Did some more fuel flow checks with engine at 1000rpm. Once the engine was warm I opened it to 2500rpm but chickened out going further as the a/c felt it wanted to take off even though it was chocked, tied down and with no wings on. Once finished drained fuel and sorted out the plumbing to the sight gauge to stop the return fuel using that as path of least resistance. Still got rpm gauge to get working, then some more fuel checks at full power and then taxi tests. Next to speak to Nev about cowls.

Vince Hi!
Sounds like all is going well with UL install.
I would be very happy to help with fibre glass repairs.
I'll try and fly into Craymarsh in next few days. Have friends over from USA on Tuesday for 3 days so it will be a week or more.
Weather not good for fibre glassing at moment anyway. Need about 20C and reduced humidity.
Something that is not in abundance at moment!!
Dont buy anything until we have discussed a course of action as I might be able to lay my hands on some of the materials.
See you soon.
