Second Flight: Flying the new Zenith CH 650 with UL Power's UL350iS engine

Evening flight to show off the Dynon SkyView glass and the Aero LED nav/strobe and landing lights... just brilliant!!
Flying the new Zenith CH650 B kit airplane with the brand new 130-hp ULPower engine. This new generation light aircraft powerplant is a direct drive, air cooled four cylinder engine with full FADEC control (electronic ignition, fuel injection, etc.) which is lighter and much more efficient than other engines in its class. On the instrument panel, we're using Dynon's SkyView glass panel display system.
Next we'll be fine tuning the firewall-forward package and the fiberglass cowl, (and painting it), as well as adding cool striping to the airframe. We'll report on the performance, characteristics and figures shortly.

Excellent aircraft and the UL Power engine choice seems like it has great potential. How is cooling in all your recent testing with the CH 650 B?

Keep the videos rolling! THNX!

whats the cost for one of these things

- I think that's probably just the "audio" - though a lightweight aircraft diesel engine would be awesome.

Sounds like a diesel when idling.

Talk about hot off the press. You must have landed and published immediately!
