    yes it would have been the kfm. great motors but under powered.

    i fitted a 6mm bungee from the stick to a cam cleat like you blokes have mentioned. i think it is going to work well. i couldn't try it on the wekend because the raaf base shut the airspace for the weekend. buggers.

    yes.it was the first production jabiru. serial 003. 001 and 002 were 582 powered prototypes. the 1600 motors were not good 2 up training so hedley flying school in queensland got an stc from casa and had 3 of them converted to 80 hp 912s. it lives at castlemaine now.

    i am curious. quite often i read about twins that go down on one engine. why would you not make them powerful enough to climb and fly on one.

    the jabiru lsa 55 that i wish i had never sold was 912 powered and the battery was about a foot behind the fuel tank in the back and the oil tank was beside the fuel tank behind the right seat. the expansion tank was under the panel on the right side. it was a pretty tight fit in the center console with the fuel lines and 2 half inch oil lines and battery cables.

    thats how sam ganow of rebuild rescue died. the airport he took off from was above the maximium ceiling for one engine. as soon as he took off one engine failed and all he could do was fly into the ground . died from get there itis. one side tank had water in it from a perished fuel cap seal and never did a fuel drain check ..

    It is worth it for sure. This is the sort of stuff that can really help us student pilots

    Of course,thanks . And also less time in the air means fuel savings too I guess.

    The person on tv the other week was a top Australian ai developer and he is worried how fast ai is progressing with little thought to mechanisms to stop it. China is already building an army of humanoid Robots.

    Well your stall speed would be higher so you land faster. That's all I can think of without looking it up😁

    Don't have to convince me. Convince the experts that are saying it.

    More airflow equals more lift.

    There has been a few stories coming out lately from people in the ai industry having these concerns. Sounds like science fiction but so did aeroplanes and space travel once.
  18. BrendAn
    Coming along nicely

    Not that Skynet😀. I mean the one where some bloke comes from the future to stop it.
  20. BrendAn
    I just log on here for that. 😁, Did you see the ai expert on the news 2 weeks ago. He is saying they have to introduce safety measures to control ai. Kill switchs to shut them down . There have been recent cases of AI disobeying directions and one AI program that jumped from computer to computer when they tried to turn it off. Skynet is on the way.

    It shows what a great engine the Rotax 9 series are when other countries are copying them because they can't design anything better That video is annoying ai. It talks about piston engines while showing jets and turboprops. Ai has so many flaws and it's everywhere on the net now spewing out completely wrong information. Bullshit rules these day's.

    I guess the request to stick to aviation was missed.by some.

    west sale
  24. BrendAn
    why so agressive. i simply said they are a reliable engine no matter how many faults you assume they have.
  25. BrendAn
    I think the problem is nev. You keep bringing up all the faults you think the 9 series have but all the pilots on here that fly those engines don't have any of the issues you think they should have. They are a fantastic reliable and economical engine proven time and time again
