    I am coming to fix your car
  2. BrendAn
    But maybe that's what I will have to do anyway.
  3. 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 😁

    Bunnings aerospace have the cloth reinforced tape, might be worth a shot.
  7. BrendAn
    I thought about trying it on the xair aileron and elevator gaps.
  8. BrendAn
    What sort of tape can you use to cover gaps.

    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.
  11. BrendAn
    Yes. 912 with carbs on top are. Pretty immune to ice unless they have a ducted carb inlet.

    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.
  13. 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.
  16. BrendAn
    Have to agree, lagging can increase heat of the exhaust itself. airflow over the pipes takes the heat away

    victoria stopped jailing young criminals and that has turned into a crime wave. there are kids that have been released on bail more than 50 times for home invasions and aggravated assaults. they don't care because they don't get in trouble. and because there are no consequences for youths they are recruited by crime gangs to do their dirty work as well.
  18. BrendAn
    well that idea has worked well in victoria. now we have a generation of machete wielding thugs because of no consequences

    Could have had a dead stick landing at 20 knts. Amazing machines

    A tangential thought process occurs when an individual responds to a question or prompt by veering off-topic and never returning to the original point. Although their sentences may be grammatically correct or superficially logical, the overall train of thought lacks coherence, goal direction, and closure. The result is a response that feels disorganized and disconnected—often leaving the listener uncertain about the intended message. Key Features of Tangential Thought Process: Missed central point: The speaker’s response fails to directly address the original question. “Drifting” narrative: Answers tend to veer off into loosely related or irrelevant tangents. No return to topic: Unlike circumstantial speech, tangential speech does not circle back to the main point. Listener confusion: The flow of thought may feel disjointed, rambling, or difficult to follow. This communication style often signals an underlying thought disorder. It is frequently observed in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder (manic episodes), and occasionally in neurological conditions or trauma-related presentations. Recognizing tangentiality can provide crucial diagnostic insight and guide appropriate clinical interventions

    A tangential thinker is someone whose thought process is characterized by a tendency to veer off-topic and fail to return to the original point. This can manifest as a complete loss of goal-directedness, where the speaker's response may be grammatically correct but lacks coherence and logical flow. that describes me not someone with a revolutionary idea.😁

    And the fuel tank is your seat in the older style .

    Modern gyros are a lot more efficient thanks to 9 series Rotax. And you don't here of push over accidents any more, that tendency has almost been designed out of them. But as thruster said, they are expensive not like the old homebuilt Benson's and the like.
  24. BrendAn
    I spoke to him a while back when he was selling off gyro parts. He had a bad accident in a gyro years ago.

    The f27 was a popular Fokker. There were fokkers everywhere.
