    i learn't today that rotax do make airboxs, i always thought that sort of stuff was made to suit .
  3. BrendAn
    i did say i might be wrong😁.

    i doubt that aluminium airbox is a rotax product. i may be wrong but bolt ons like that are usually made to suit the installation by the installer of the engine.

    No flying down here this weekend because of bushfires, total fireban and strong winds.

    very true but my instructors made me use carby heat anyway .
  7. BrendAn
    I trained with 4 different instructors and they all used carb heat on descent. As well as testing at runup

    different subject, how much fuel did you burn per hour on your trip to camerons corner.
  9. BrendAn
    a fresh lamb shank each will keep the dogs quiet.

    I am coming to fix your car
  11. BrendAn
    But maybe that's what I will have to do anyway.
  12. BrendAn
    Yes. That's the normal way. Blue a sent a pic of one similar.. my thruster had a fixed tabs in the ailerons . I can do this I just don't like drilling holes through the Dacron.

    Duct tape. Hammer, shifter and a packet of cable ties can fix anything

    I can keep the xair under 100mph I suppose 😁
  15. BrendAn
    Bunnings aerospace have the cloth reinforced tape, might be worth a shot.
  16. BrendAn
    I thought about trying it on the xair aileron and elevator gaps.
  17. BrendAn
    What sort of tape can you use to cover gaps.
  18. BrendAn
    Are cozycarb rings coolant heated or electric. My jab 2200 had an electric carb heater but it didn't look like it would heat much.

    i can do a very simple bungie trim off the left stick, i only need slight right pressure to maintain level flight. xair ailerons can't be adjusted independently otherwise i could get what i want with adjustment. that idea might be wrong anyway. still need to figure out something for the rudder. preferably in the cockpit as well.
  20. BrendAn
    Yes. 912 with carbs on top are. Pretty immune to ice unless they have a ducted carb inlet.
  21. BrendAn
    I don't have carb heat on the 2 stroke but I keep the revs up on descent to avoid cold seizure and carby ice. Which is easy to do with draggy airframe.
  22. BrendAn
    In raaus training they make you use carby heat on every landing and even in power off stalls if memory is correct

    Old thread but I wanted to bring up the trim subject again. We spoke about it a few weeks back. Seems I am keeping the xair I would like to fix the trim issues. We discussed fixed tabs but I am not keen on them. I can fit a Bungy in the cockpit from the stick to a fixed central point to correct the aileron roll . Trying to figure out what to do with the rudder. Still some sort of bungi system but where to attach it. Or possibly a cable operated rudder trim tab as last resort. Looking for ideas.

    You weren't being replied too. Moneybox was.
  25. BrendAn
    Have to agree, lagging can increase heat of the exhaust itself. airflow over the pipes takes the heat away
