  1. What is your mtow in nz
  2. How many hours does the average rec pilot do a year, not many. Buy genuine and be done with it Skippy carries on like he has to buy one every week.
  3. i am as tightarse as anyone but i believe an aircraft engine is not something to skimp on. the oil filter with the rotax label is made to their requirements even if it is by another company. just because another brand looks the same does not mean it is.
  4. She is 18 , does she still qualify as a teenager
  5. A similar product doesn't cut it in aviation.
  6. Most of those aeropedia facts are bullshit. Certainly got your attention though.
  7. don't think the extra power will do much except better climb and takeoff roll. top speed won't increase much with that airfoil. got 10 weeks to go til i bring my zodiac home. whats your cruise speed mb. mine is a taildragger so a bit less drag.
  8. tom wickers the designer is still around. you will find him in the bushflyers group on facebook.
  9. On the aopa video the bloke said there are 9000 ga aircraft in Aus but only 4000 of them are in flying condition. Obviously he is not concerned with large commercial fleets.
  10. I heard the woman running casa just got a 2 year contract for 2 million. Another case of the fat cats looking after themselves.
  11. easy for a keyboard pilot to say. you don't know what was going on in the cockpit.
  12. So eager to prove people wrong you don't read their posts
  13. i was referring to nevs comment that heaters smell. did you not read my comment about carbon monoxide detectors. you and nev are convinced i am a complete dickhead and i can't change that. i will still sleep tonight. not from from carbon monoxide poisoning either.
  14. a well maintained engine will take care of leaks but we do have detectors as well. you don't need a cabin heater to get carbon monoxide intrusion. remember the dramas with jabirus until they figured out it was getting sucked into the cabin through the ventral fin cable outlet
  15. same system as blues in the texan i trained in. worked great and there was no smell at all.
  16. Hope he is ok Some of the members are getting on in years.
  17. Same thing . Kip aero sell the csm engine from NZ .
  18. look up kip aero. i agree but what a wonderful looking engine
  19. found them. https://www.kipaero.com/ they sell camel kits and the engines
  20. there was someone in nz building gnome replicas that were supposed to be an excellent engine from what i read but i can't find the company any more, or remember the name.
