Unpressurised Aircraft Hulls normally have Reduced Pressure inside compared to Outside. Exhaust fumes etc can leak in from Many Places . Having  adequate outside Air vents directed to your face Must Be an advantage. It helps some from getting Airsick as well. Nev

You might want to rethink using a standard household CO alarm in an aircraft. Household or travel CO alarms are calibrated for standard atmospheric pressures at ground level.

The varying air pressures and altitudes experienced during flight can make them highly unreliable, causing false alarms, or they fail to detect dangerous gas levels altogether.

 

You should be purchasing a CO alarm that is designed for aircraft. The units designed for aircraft have inbuilt altitude compensation, detect lower levels of CO, so pilots can be warned in advance of being poisoned, to the extent that their reactions and responses are being affected - and they have more audible alarms, that can be heard over engine and wind noise.

 

Some worthwhile information in this link - https://www.sportys.com/blog/carbon-monoxide-pilots-need-know/?srsltid=AfmBOopmnwuQxMOcVJ8MAFbs5kXEq1JGxKJhZaGI2hB_-v6Q9N5qJSj4

jabs have good air vents. can be cold though.

Worse in a Drifter on a cold day or a Tiger moth at FL150 in winter.  They climb higher in Winter. Nev

I bought a couple online but in the end found an RAAus one in the glovebox of the plane along with a PLB. I just had to put two CR2032 batteries in. We took it on our last flight and was happy to see a zero reading.

I've never been cold in a Drifter.....

Ok, maybe once or twice.

Kind of reminds one of Mawson preparing to step back into his hut, after an Antarctic expedition! 😄

So is nude skydiving but I don't do that just like I don't fly a drifter or a Tiger moth.

People do Crays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfcall them Painted, but by mistake (I did the same years ago)  Painted's have the stripe running length wise down the legs and lesser blueish colour and Ornate's have the leg striping around the legs.  

At least you are not calling them lobsters 😈

my jabiru has the air intake on the cowling and goes through a collar around one exhaust pipe.

i haven't flown it yet but i read it is mandatory to have alarm.   bought this quell because its a pretty good brand i think

 

Had one for about 18 months.

One small problem - it doesn't like the cold. When it first happened, I thought it was CO alarming, only to find it had basically stopped functioning. Came good when the cockpit warmed up abit.

This is my second Quell. They both look very similar but the first had replaceable batteries (part  of annual) and didnt seem to be effected by the cold. This new one has a 10 year battery life, much lighter than the first.

Had a visitor at the hangar today; not sure if it is going to settle in.🙃😊

Yep, don't want mice or rats eating wiring etc.

[Thruster88]

That snake is doing very well to navigate along the small flange on a Z purlin. It must be smaller and less scary that it looks.

[facthunter]

My Uncle Next door to where I grew up Had 2 in the shed where the Chook feed was Kept as  the Mice would go for the Bran and Pollard that was stored there . They get pretty TAME and not too bothered by People they are used to going in there.  That one looks a little thin.  Nev

[onetrack]

Any carpet snake I've ever encountered has been the nastiest piece of work out, rearing up, and striking out at me! I give all snakes a wide berth!

[facthunter]

You wouldn't want to come across a Tiger snake then. They will cross a creek to get at you..  Nev

[onetrack]

I have bad memories of a Tiger snake chasing me when I was about 8 yrs old. Our farm was Tiger snake Central, swamps everywhere.
