Kit Aircraft Modifications

Hi Everyone,

First off, I would like to hear back from all of those who are following this thread. Drop me a quick e-mail or leave a comment if you are enjoying this topic.

The engine is now being fitted to a spacial test frame that will eventually allow me to run the whole engine/gearbox/propeller system on my trailer. This is going to be very helpful in dialing in the engine and to catch any problems with the system before it is mounted in the plane.

It will also allow us to put a load on the engine during testing to see how the custom ECM set up performs. I should have the basics of the test frame done near the end of the week and I hope to have the whole set-up back to the ECM designer’s shop by the end of October.

Had a conversation with Rogers/AT&T the other day. They are my local carrier here in Ontario, Canada. Basically, they were happy to have the units run on their system and they have a product that will allow you to run your unit for under $10 per month.

I am going to get one of their SIMs into our Beta units and start using it in our hangar on my partner’s RV-9A.

I am still waiting on my overseas partners to get their ducks aligned and send me some extension antennas and finalize the product specifications. Once this is done I can assemble some final production units that can be sent out for CSA/UL testing. The units will not be released to the public until they have received the certification.
