this one from aircraft spruce looks good but i don't know if i can fit a different tacho to a certified ac

that is the advantage for me if i buy new from jabiru, they will set the new tach up to match the original. and the price is better than most i found online.

i was told it might not work by jabiru parts bloke. he said sometimes the new tachs don't work with the original sensor. maybe the sensors were faulty themselves.

the tecnam and eurofox trainers at latrobe valley always ran avgas until the mogas tank was installed. didn't bother them at all.

Quantas landed a plane at telfa once for some reason. I was told they even extended the airstrip to get it out of there. Quantas sent the mine staff a pallet of beer for their help.

Must have been some wrong calculations do you think.

not sure where you got this from.

I will post it if they can repair it. Might be a while though. Jabiru is $470 for a new tacho but the kicker is if the old sensor won't work with it a new one to suit is another $270.

No. This was Ansett regional Perth to Kalgoorlie flight.

i Remember once at kalgoorlie an ansett jet landed and the engines shutdown when they turned to taxi back to the terminal. had to get towed. they cut that pretty fine.

they are the vdo repair agents. you don't tell someone to come back in 2 weeks then in 2 weeks tell them the end of the month. i will buy a new tacho but i think i will still drop the old one off . see if they can fix that one so i have a spare.

punkinhead are still going, don't know if the lady still owns it.

how did you verify the cranking speed. are you sure the reading was correct. you have to get to 300 rpm for the ignition to fire although if it starts ok warm that probably rules the starter out.

hi mate. no good so far. i rang yesterday and they said they couldn't possibly look at it til after the end of the month, after she had already told me they would look at it after 2 weeks. i decided to just get a new one from jabiru rather than wait and be told the same thing again. they are swamped with work at howards. jabiru can now get the hours programmed into the new tacho too which is something i wanted to do as well.

my point is are raaus moving further away from their grass roots.
