This is now on hold while get some clarification from the owner. Watch this space

I have a friend that owns a Tiger Moth, It was stored in a hangar for some time and thieves robbed parts off it to the extent that its no longer flyable. My friend would like to see it in a museum or similar. Maybe to someone that already has one ? It's stored in a hangar in country Victoria . (East Gippsland) Any interest? Missing mags and carb I believe. It once was a Joy flight aircraft at Tooradin, Yellow in colour.

Saw a great movie on SBS. A Japanese Godzilla movie where , in the latter stages of the film, the story rotates around the "Shiden" canard fighter. Lovely shots and very good special effects. The movie captures the immediate post war Japan mood with a good story and fine acting. Highly recommended

I used "cut down" early mini drive shaft boots. siliconed to the firewall works on a Jabiru

After removing the spade connectors from the Reg Rec Unit ( on the firewall INSIDE the cockpit. YUK ) Finding heat damage, I shortened the wires and fitted new mil spec spade connectors. Job done, no interference. Thanks eveyone for your input.

It seems to be reception only, no-one has complained about my transmissions, But I will get a radio check tomorrow. When I press the PTT button to transmit the radio is as clear as a bell and all interference stops.

THis is a Rotax engine. so mags and caps are out. The sound is a high pitched whine (through the headphones, constantly ). It must have been doing it for quite a while. I was always a passenger and never took any notice of it. Its the alternator or reg/rec I'm sure, But what to do about it? Maybe that Large capacitor is cactus? Pulling the dash out and fitting ferrite beads and filters is going to be quite a job. I was hoping that I could get some advice on in what direction to look. Thanks. G

FFS.................. I wrote " But the radio . - Loud engine related noise " I didnt know I needed to be so specific as to rule out the engine , I would have thought people could have sussed that I meant interference.... However I appear to be wrong.

Flying a friends Aerostar a few days ago. Really nice ,But the radio......Loud engine (912uls) related noise (change of pitch when increasing revs) Except when I transmit, then all is quiet. No-one complaining of poor reception. Difficult to hear other's transmissions. Where would I start to look for the problem. Regulator has the large capacitor attached. Radio is ICOM 200. Thanks G

As far as I know ,( and I would love to be corrected ) the manufacturer being no longer able to support the aircraft makes it COMPULSORY to alter the registration to E24 ($700+) There is no other way to fly legally. AS Experimental you may do what you wish.

forget it.

SOLD

Looking for Jabiru engine prices. Could only find in the US. 4 cylinder $22,000 ( $43,000 AUD?) and for the 6? got to be around $56,000 AUD That's not peanuts! But, saying that, I got charged $163 dollars per hour at a franchised repair shop for fitting rear rotors on a car. $163 per hour! ridiculous price. When I started work I got $3 per week for 44 hours. The world has gone mad.

Engine question. Does anybody know the coolant flow rate in a Rotax 912? answer in ltrs per minute please ?. It's to do with under/over cooling in and experimental situation.
