Hi enjoying your videos on the Hummel ultracruiser. Was wondering on the instrument panel if you could use the mgl asb2 and also the EMS - 2 mgl engine monitor for your instruments. Thank you for info

[@hummelaircraft]

Probably. Engine uses standard npt style pressure and temp ports.

[@america1723]

Any plans to make a belt drive kit for sale?

[@hummelaircraft]

We are currently only providing engines and drives as a tested package to Ultracruiser owners at this time.

[@fernandogutierrez7053]

What brand is the V Twine engine?

[@steveburlingame1935]

Is the ultracruiser part 103 or light sport or experimental

[@hummelaircraft]

Ultracruiser can be built as a Part 103 for sure - but could be LSA as well if you choose.

@@hummelaircraft thats awesome i want

[@tadaasatoorian851]

are you running just 4awg wires off of the battery charger there?

[@hummelaircraft]

Yes, its only for starting

[@DrStoooopid]

Matt, have you ever tested some of the parts in carbon fiber to see if there's much of a weight difference? I know Aluminum is heavier than carbon fiber (as a rule), but I'm curious to know if it'd be worth someone's time to do an Ultracruiser, only in carbon fiber instead of aluminum.

[@nashfan1000]

Does the ultra Cruiser have brakes?

[@hummelaircraft]

Yes - Mechanical brakes are standard.

Id like to put a Harley-davidson 1340 motor in one of these planes.

[@myotherusername9224]

It's been a big waste of time except for the people who follow the flying and glider. manual instructions.
The shaking will tear your plane apart otherwise

[@contessa.adella]

Pusher config is more efficient….but who wants to sacrifice low speed rudder and elevator authority?

[@ozetun]

Looks like a thin and weak construction that could not cope with strong winds.

[@flyguyeddy]

If youre flying in strong winds with an ultralight that weighs less than 254lbs youre an idiot anyway.

[@flyguyeddy]

Its an ULTRALIGHT not a cessna.
