  1. I have a Starlink Mini, yet to mount it in the plane though. I also use Starlink at home. "Telstra has a Starlink-powered, direct-to-cell satellite text messaging service in Australia that works with select Apple iPhone (13 or later) and Google Pixel (9 and 10 series) models. This "just-in-case" service requires users to be outdoors, on a Telstra Upfront plan, and on compatible devices, enabling messaging when outside normal coverage areas" I have used this on my Pixel 10 and it works seamlessly, fortunately I haven't had to use it in an emergency situation yet
  2. There is always one. Don't let the truth get in the way of your stories, the real events where tragic but didn't quite play out the way you say https://www.monumentaustralia.org/themes/people/tragedy/display/107161-peabody-corner
  3. I like to pour a bit of petrol or diesel in to the filter to thin the oil and then run it through a coffee filter in a funnel, they tend to hold up better than paper towel
  4. I cut open the filters on my race car, never bothered with my road cars. Always do it with my aircraft
  5. I use a $15 cheapy, has worked well for years now
  6. I haven't seen anyone say "Rotax Knows best" I have not seen anyone say you can't say a word about Rotax that isn't praise The fact that people are modifying and refining the Rotax says we recognise they are not perfect How many aircraft engines have you designed, prototyped, manufactured and successfully brought to market (and had that design copied by other manufacturers)?
  7. Everything is built to a price Nev and the Rotax 914 has proven itself to be a reliable package when maintained properly. Sure efi would be better, direct injection would be better again, but it would also increase the cost considerably and the Bing on the 914 is designed for forced induction with appropriate design changes to suit it's purpose. There are lots of things I don't like about lots of different production engines but we have to use what is available and affordable The way your posts are written does come across as negative which I find detracts from some of the good points you make. Not knowing you personally, and only being able to base my opinion on what you write, it does appear your have a great dislike for Rotax engines.
  8. Nostalgair N3 Supapup ultralight aircraft Mosler CB40 1/2 VW engine First registered 2005 Good condition, always hangared ~240 hours Ready to fly Hangared at Yarram
  9. My new android phone uses Starlink where there is no cell tower coverage
  10. Yep, it detracts from the forum and makes it less appealing to contribute here. Maybe facthunter and Brendan can start their own thread and use that when they decide to start sniping at each other. Brendan was relaying information he got from RAAus and CASA about the regulations, just because you don't agree with them there is no need to shoot the messenger
  11. Do you know what supercharger is he using? Be great to see some pics if anyone has some to share
  12. Not to mention leaving tuning O2 sensors in the exhaust, powering them through the ECU and not knowing the required power required through the circuit breaker. Stupidity destroyed that T-51, not the LS engine that powered it
  13. That's a ripper, I'd have one if the budget allowed
  14. http://www.epi-eng.com/index.html These guys seem to have their PSRU's sorted, some great information on their website too. They do ag conversions so they would need their reliability sorted, and they do helicopter gearboxes too https://www.aerosportengineering.no/ This company's bought their PSRU design from EPI and have been working on their own BMW V12 based package https://lsaeroengines.com/ LSAero engines have a psru available and seem to be focused on firewall forward packages for Murphy Moose upgrades Haven't been able to find any negative reviews on these companies, not that I have looked that hard.
  15. There is someone claiming their Chev Silverado with a 5.7L small block engine reached over 1,289,000 miles just with scheduled servicing
