Does anybody have any opinion or critique of the AR682R engine
 from UEL? Their web site says they don't supply engines for
 manned aircraft, but I don't know if that's absolute or not.
 Maybe if they were given a complete release of future liability they
would.

"The AR682R aero-engine has been developed to power UAVs which require
up to 120 bhp. It is based on the proven AR642 core engine which was
designed to meet UK CAA / European JAR-E and US FAA FAR-33
certifications for manned flight."

That certainly sounds promising. What prevents someone from buying one
and using it in an experimental?

Hi Paul

I contacted UAV several years ago and at that time they were very awkward
about what the end use would be.  I think that when Norton was sold off Mid
West already had manned aviation rights and UAV I guess have something in
their license agreement to preclude that use. It's not gospel but that was
certainly the impression I got.  So if you approach them I would not mention
aircraft at all.
