  1. Can you please post a list of requirements for a post to be satisfactory for you. You are bullying moneybox . There is no need to carry on at him the way you have on this thread. And look at the replies you posted to me yesterday about that gyro. I think you need to man up and apologise for your behaviour.
  2. The only input you want to hear is your own. It's ok for you to joke when you feel like it. Take a chill pill
  3. Now I am worried I am going to be flying through a sandstorm belching out 2 mt flames.😁
  4. You do realise they have layers of cotton between the mesh outer layers.
  5. Lucky they are in a clean environment .would you prefer a Donaldson cyclone hanging off the side.🤣
  6. Cone air filters are used a lot on Rotax . They would be spark arrestors as well. If your aeroplane is shooting out 2 mt flames you might want to do a tune up😁
  7. I needed a high performance endorsement for the red one because red is 10 percent faster than other colours. Look at any Ferrari.
  8. its all automatic. you push the stick and off you go. jumpstart gyros have been around for 60 years. not showing off or dangerous. this mculloch had jump start in 1962. very successful machine and sought after even today. and a gust of wind has almost no effect. gyros fly when fw are grounded.
  9. They have slightly adjustable rotor pitch. Spin up rotors to 500 rpm at 0 pitch then tilts the rotors 4 degrees for lift off at the same time it disengages the prerotator because you can't have any rotational torque after the wheels leave the ground.
  10. It doesn't effect me. I don't have a 912 but I do know people that run them like that with no issues. But maybe there cowls get lots of airflow so temp is not much more than ambient.
  11. there are a lot of cowled 912s running cone air filters straight on the carbs with no issues at all. i don't think anyone is saying your wrong but all the engines out there having no issues makes it hard to argue.
  12. i learn't today that rotax do make airboxs, i always thought that sort of stuff was made to suit .
  13. i doubt that aluminium airbox is a rotax product. i may be wrong but bolt ons like that are usually made to suit the installation by the installer of the engine.
  14. No flying down here this weekend because of bushfires, total fireban and strong winds.
  15. very true but my instructors made me use carby heat anyway .
  16. I trained with 4 different instructors and they all used carb heat on descent. As well as testing at runup
  17. different subject, how much fuel did you burn per hour on your trip to camerons corner.
  18. a fresh lamb shank each will keep the dogs quiet.
  19. I am coming to fix your car
  20. But maybe that's what I will have to do anyway.
  21. 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.
  22. Duct tape. Hammer, shifter and a packet of cable ties can fix anything
