    engines run nicer with iridium plugs and there is less load on the ignition itself. not to mention the extra life over stock plugs.
  2. BrendAn
    That's your opinion
  3. BrendAn
    I am running amsoil interceptor because it is considered the best oil for Rotax. And Iridium plugs cross referenced from the stock plugs..

    I don't really care . I just assumed you knew where the record could be found. If you google Rotax rick, the guru of Rotax, he reckons the 618 is the best of the 2 strokes if looked after correctly. He recommends running 40 to 1 . None of his rebuilds have failed and he thinks 40 to 1 is the main reason. I have oil injection but I need to add a bit of oil to the fuel too I suppose. I was terrified my Jabiru engine would explode but it ran like a Swiss watch. Read to many internet posts about how bad they were.

    Where do I find the records. I found a bit about crank bearing failures.

    You are arguing about something you have not watched. You need to see the thing for yourself to know if you are right or not.

    That's the great thing about where I fly. I always have a farm under me if I have an engine failure. Although I would try to land on a road if suitable.

    How do you know if you didn't watch it.

    Enclosed cabin. Doors make a big difference. You can fly mine in your Speedos while sipping pina colladas.

    618 s have the strongest crank of all the 2 smoke Rotax . That's why they weigh more than a 582. The same crank in a 670 runs up to 135 hp.

    It's just a 43 second upload from my phone. It should work but I don't know much about these things.

    You wouldn't know if you didn't watch it. The people interviewed made some good points about the Mental health of airline pilots . Many pilots are afraid to speak up if they have a problem because it can mean a long time without employment and thousands of dollars to prove they are fit to fly again. There have been 8 suicide crashes that have killed hundreds of people.

    Seven spotlight is about this crash tonight.
  14. BrendAn
    Yes. They climb good but only 65 knts flat out.
  15. BrendAn
    That's my thought too. Because it doesn't really run rough. At 1600 rpm tach reading it should be trying to jump off the airframe but it's not.
  16. BrendAn
    I looked it up. Trigger gaps are adjustable to change timing. I am going to see if it will climb on either mag. If it does I will leave it alone. If it doesn't will have to look into it. Trigger gaps should be 20 thou.
  17. BrendAn
    Can you adjust the timing on them. Never thought of that.

    Been practising circuits when I can get suitable weather. It is winter I suppose. No photos. Just a quick video of xair take off. VID_20250726095420.mp4

    When I do a mag check on my 618 One drops 200 rpm but the other one drops about 800 rpm. Still seems to run fine at the lower rpm. Has anyone else had this happen, Wondering if it's just something to do with the tacho reading being wrong on that circuit. Other than that the engine runs great. 139 hours.

    It would be surprising if they were alive
  21. BrendAn
    wasn't he shot by an aussie on the ground
  22. BrendAn
    bet it started with a stall as thruster said
  23. BrendAn
    I will finally be able to fit a rolls Merlin to the xair
