nong Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Not an expert, but i didnt realise that an 0540 would need a redrive? Prop size a factor?edit: ad to that i know nothing about ag trucks Not an Ag Truck mate. Embraer Ipanema.
Hongie Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 yeah, i meant an ag plane in general... i wiki'd it, otherwise I wouldnt have known it
deadstick Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Is this Jabiru's new cold start kit? LOL couldn't resist!!!
facthunter Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Think we are talking of two different situations. The 540 IS direct drive and a bit lumpy to pull over compared with a radial which I was relating to. Nev
David Isaac Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 The engine is interestingly the Lycoming IO-540-K1J5 delivering 300 HP with Alcohol. How would you like to fly an aircraft with a fuel tank full of Metho ... LOL.
ahlocks Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Not an issue provided there's a few litres of orange juice around for flavour.... 1 4 1
facthunter Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Take it up high and you can have a "cold" one when you get down. It's actually "etho". When it is burning you can't see the flames. One extra hazard. Nev
Old Koreelah Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Take it up high and you can have a "cold" one when you get down. It's actually "etho". When it is burning you can't see the flames. One extra hazard. Nev At last someone has noticed the fuel. All those concerns about a little bit of ethanol disappear when we go all the way...or is that a lesson in life?
