    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.

    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.

    if you look at your member portal you will see what i mean.

    . RPC not RPL . RPL is ga. It is not attached to your RPC. If you log into your member portal the l1 will be in the endorsement column and your RPC goes in the ratings column.

    If you contact Bunbury aero club Tim will help you.

    Is Bunbury a possibility for you. We had a great raaus and ga instructor at Latrobe valley. Tim little. He is now the CFI at Bunbury.

    I know what you mean. I have pretty much had the same experience as you. It's surprising how much a few weeks off can set you back.

    FINALLY got my rpc. it took 50 hrs because of all the breaks in between. now i can fly the xair to my hearts content. i know the basic rpc is just solo practice in the 25nm zone but that is fine with me for a while until i start x country lessons.

    these don't stay open either. you push the fuel tester against the spring pressure to get fuel.

    it would have scared sh#t out of you wouldn't it. did it come through your windscreen. i have heard of a truck in wa that had a wedgetail eagle come through the windscreen and was still alive in the cabin. trouble with them is they feed on roadkill and don't move fast enough when you get near them.

    my fuel drain valve drips after i do a fuel check. do i have to replace it or just change an o ring. i have never looked at one before but in pictures it looks like there is an o ring on the end of it.

    Pilot mental health in spotlight after Air India Flight 171 disaster ©REUTERSCaptain Mohan Ranganathan, a leading aviation safety expert in India, has revealed that 'several' Air India pilots had allegedly confirmed that the well-experienced pilot had suffered from poor mental health. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph , he claimed: 'He had taken time off from flying in the last three to four years. He had taken medical leave for that. Captain Sabharwal is also understood to have taken bereavement leave after the death of his mother, though it is believed by Mr Ranganathan that he had been 'medically cleared' by Air India prior to the fatal crash last month.
