Pete, good on you, that actually sounds like a good option for UL Power, 
I would have thought there is a big market for that weight break and 
lower cost than Rotax. As you say, thermally the same, using the 350 
parts on their proven base block, appears to be a relatively low risk 
venture. We live in hope.

Cheers,
Brian Phillips.

them for years now to offer a turbod low compression 260 @ 130hp, as thermally
a no brainer, as it has the same heads and bottom end (just shorter stroke)
as their 130hp 350, but alas they don't see a market. I keep telling them
they would supplant the 914 market, and steal from the 915 for those airframes
who are weight limited (as the europa), being simpler and lighter etc.  instead
they are chasing the larger lycoming market with their turbo 6cyl.
