I've been flying my UCD with a Saito 65 inverted and have had no problems with the engine inverted but I've been thinking of switching to the 82 to get a little more punch out of the plane. It sounds like some are having flooding problems with the 82 inverted on this plane.
Has anyone that's flying with the 82 on their UCD had problems with the the motor inverted and stock fuel tank location on this plane?
If you raise the engine the 1/2 inch you guys are talking about, how does that effect the mounting of the cowl?
Rtn9105, I have the Saito 82 on my 46 and installed the tank in the stock configuration and haven't had any problems with flooding at all. Most of what I have heard it is the 60 size that has the flooding problems. I used a Dubro fuel filling connection (don't remember what it's called) and made a loop with the fuel line and it doesn't leak. I have pictures of the set up at home and can post some when I get home. I'm still in Mexico. [8D] I'll be home tonight.
