    Ignition timing is 15 degrees. I have the 618 handbook here. Can't see why you would have to touch it though.

    My plugs are clean but I use iridium plugs cross reference to the the stock plugs. Would not have a clue about timing. I haven't touched it. Just clocked over 150 hrs . Runs very smooth . I imagine the timing would still be at factory settings. I wouldn't touch it unless there was a problem. I like iridium plugs because they supposed to be kinder to CDI box's. I reckon they start better and run smoother with them.

    A rudder trim tab is a good idea but I want to know the ball is correct first. How are they aligned when fitted.

    All xairs have adjustable elevator trim. I am talking yaw/rudder. What I am saying is if I take my feet off the rudder pedals it flies exactly the same with no loss of speed and the ball sits slightly off center, so is the turn coordinator out a bit.

    This is my third xair. They are all the same. What I was wondering though is when the ball is on the left side of the panel does it work exactly the same as if it is on the centre line. On any aircraft.

    No worries. Mine is oil injected ,I still put 200 ml in every 20 lt for insurance. With amsoil there is no smoke. Clean exhaust and some people say they even gained rpm with it.

    Moneybox has the same idea as you. I think I will make one next weekend. Already has elevator trim tab

    Today I was playing with the position of the ball when flying straight. I always need left rudder to keep the ball centred. Which I guess is normal. Now if I take my feet off the pedals the ball sits a about halfway over the line on the left. I took notice of the speed and it does not change. I thought I would lose some speed if it was yawing . And the other question is how are turn coordinators setup in relation to the aircraft or doesn't it matter.

    I got given a high hr 582 once and when I filled the rotary valve bottle it ran straight into the crankcase requiring a new crankshaft..seals are part of assembly

    Rave valves can carbon up and cause erratic running. That's. Another reason to use the best synthetic you can . Which is amsoil from everything I have read.

    Has it still got the oil injection jac
  13. BrendAn
    How would he not have the oil reservoir for the rotary valve. Wouldn't go for long without it 😁
  14. BrendAn
    There are thousands of Rotax 2 smokes in service still.

    Notes about not being suitable for aircraft are just arse covering same as most ultralight stuff.

    I use amsoil Interceptor. Full synthetic. It was the most highly recommended oil I could find in all the American forums.

    I would think the marap is attached to aircraft forever.
  19. BrendAn
    No. Every mod has its own marap because raaus pay around $30000 per marap and get it back off several people instead of one paying for the whole thing. The advantage to them is if it's a popular marap it will keep bringing in revenue. Long after it's paid for.
  20. BrendAn
    It's a fixed rate for each marap isn't it. $770 ?

    So if you have a pre 1987 thruster with 582 you can't transfer ownership and reg unless you can fit a recon 503. What about shifting them to exp. Can that be done.
  22. BrendAn
    In my xair a circuit is a long trip😁
  23. BrendAn
    I will be staying raa unless it becomes a problem . I only fly an ultralight around my local.area here.
  24. BrendAn
    Ok. I will look into again. I was told 10 hrs flying and 8 ground school. Maybe it's because I don't have cross country.
  25. BrendAn
    I think it is another 10 hrs now. Plus that again in ground class. $5 or $ 6000
