Convert 914UL3 to 914UL2
Hi friends,
We have a 914UL3 engine with a variable pitch propeller. Planning to fit it with a fixed pitch propeller i.e convert 914UL-3 to UL-2. Is there any retrofit kit / Service instruction available from Rotax, in this regard? Couldn’t find anything in the IPC.
We referred Rotax manuals and gathered what we may have to do:
1. Remove Governor from the mounting location, blank crankcase location.
2. Remove oil feed line to propeller shaft and blank off the opening.
3. Not sure about propeller Shaft
-Is it possible to unplug and reuse? or need to buy a new one?
Existing Part No is 837284.
4. Drive gear/ RGB can remain as is?
5. Also any need to change/modify TCU?
It would be great to receive all possible guidance.
Has there been any prior discussion on the subject in this forum?
Best regards,
Ray
