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.

Ps. Mark from Galaxy will hopefully YouTube the video of engine run shortly.
