I wonder, is it the Subaru engine that typically fails or the PSRU bolted to it?

Dean, there’s a fairly active Aus/NZ FB group that might be a source of buyer interest in your S-7.

I’ve seen draft seals used to good effect….Start off with a piece 300mm long and keep trimming back until you’re satisfied

Tena pads or Depends if it’s only minor leakage.

Clearly didn’t monitor AoA

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (composite). Boeing B787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 aircraft both feature a large percentage of flammable carbon fibre composite in their FAA/EASA certified aircraft….As do many modern type certificated GA and ASTM conforming LSA lighties.

Can you believe that poor bloke from Canada wants to spend time on his holiday interacting with the likes of us 😳 Maybe he’ll opt for a Rhine River cruise instead. 😜

What a sweet looking aircraft. 👍

I’m trying to determine how “RAA” (RA-Aus) became implicated in this post, given the accident occurred in the UK as a likely result of a component made and purchased in the USA 🤔…. In any event, I was informed by my CASA Authorised Person that it was not their job to determine the airworthiness of any experimental aircraft, nor could they deny a Special CoA, even if the aircraft was built out of Clag, paddle pop sticks and Bunnings bolts. CASA will issue a AC21-4 Special Certificate of Airworthiness (Experimental) but the restrictions placed upon the aircraft as a result of their risk assessment (Test area, Phase 1 duration etc) may make it impractical.

Archerfield or Redcliffe will be your best options….Then use the 50 cent trains/buses. The highway construction around Caboolture is a congestion nightmare at present. Kilcoy is a good 1-1/2h drive from Brisbane and Watts Bridge will add another 1/2h to that. Heck Field is 3/4h to 1h drive depending on time of day.
