CT9000

I had an interesting conversation with a bloke that knew of some poor bloke that had a blown head gasket on his Rotax 912 and was stuck in the middle of now where. My comment was that it did not happen. There has never been a recorded case of a 912 blowing a head gasket. When quizzed how I could know that I pointed out that a 912 does not have head gaskets.

.......the gun safe, meanwhile someone said he is not dead. CT replied he bloody well will be when I'm finished with him.......

.....all the unwise men now sleep peacefully forever......

......the joint Russia Ukraine project came to light. Sending tank turrets into orbit around Mars......

.....outburst from the Jabiru people saying you can't land here. It is not a real engine failure, just a pilot problem.......

...... failure to understand that hollow point magnums must be the halal way of humane extermination ......

...... movement in the grass and saw the pointy ears of a couple of foxes ..... Note the grass was not the Griffith NSW type of grass.

I use the headsets that came with the CT. They are not ANR but do not need to be, no I didn't try Ian's units. Can't remember the make of mine and am away at the moment so cannot check. I also have DC 13.4's Peltor's and a Bose ANR to play with but don't bother because there is no need. The CT is a bit like a fridge. It is white. Open the door the light comes on. If you are cold select more heat, if you are hot select more cool. It just quietly does it's job so no need to change anything just add fuel and service.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the performance of any of these units but Ian can. He did all the testing and I did the flying.

Ian did test several headsets in flight in my aircraft. Also tested phone connect capability and so on. He went to a fair bit of effort to make sure his product is up to scratch.

If you think a Jab stall is a bit aggressive go try a Piper tomahawk, they don't call them a trauma hawk for nothing. I haven't got lots of hours on Jab's but I find it difficult to understand it going fully inverted. My experience is that they will drop a wing fairly quickly but if you step on rudder to stop the yaw all is good. Perhaps someone with heaps of time on these will chime in with more info.

I agree Nev, most people believe what their speedo says but it rarely accurate.

I was not picking on Toyota, I just know for a fact that Toyota's are set with a 10% error built in. Fords are set with 4%, I don't know about other makes but the Aus. rules require the speedo to not under read at all but can over read. Another part of the Aus. design rules require an accuracy of 10%.

Roadworthy check has nothing to do with speedo accuracy. If you drive a Toyota you can almost guarantee the error will be about 10%. They are deliberately made that way.

.....that was only for those using the normal Hillman engine, if you tried to use an engine from a Hillman Imp you were granted a medal for bravery then told to.......
