  1. Another reason for burping the tank it to make sure the hydraulic lifters have been purged of any air in the system.
  2. Of course the scraper ring isn't going to remove all the oil that's why l said it would use hardly any oil it has to use some oil.
  3. It should use hardly any oil the oil ring lubricates on the way up the scraper ring clears it on the way down and the compression does what it says
  4. l thought no person could be trained or train in a 19 registed aircraft only certified ones.
  5. Hi Phil Yes 7.E.1 has the bed mount for the 582 upside down mount. Primed all the fus today hope to finish with top coat tomorrow . l have to weld the new wing strut attachments also, l forgot l had to make them l am putting savannah struts on instead of the chromoly pipe. cheers Geoff.
  6. l will be attending on Saturday l am driving its two hr drive then an other hour in the car park. cheers Geoff.

  8. My Third Drifter l have built this ones a keeper
  9. Hi Phil You should be able to make a mount to suit the bed mount for the 582 it should sit low enough to have the 582 upright then mount the gear box to match the cowl. cheers Geoff. http://api.ning.com/files/ERLACroDwLrJDxHRMk8HpgKR1iakwgNYkus*HBx6LZj0GLJxKNvOsS8GIBQwLGOtw4BqBISDFdcDUuOuE2MshlFbkIDEt*bk/SimoniniV2.png
  10. Hi Phil Yes l have to get some 1.6 mm lexan for the screen and l am going to replace the windows on the doors also. Still haven't painted yet cant win its either to hot and today its 18 deg to cold . Do you have a tap on the floor for your fuel if so what type is it l am going to start run the aluminum fuel line under the fus to the fire wall and make a cap to cover it from stones . How much do you have to do to finish off apart from the motor installation. cheers Geoff.
  11. You can Alan if you do as you are told don't think don't use your brains you should just fit in to the RAA and take it where the sun don't shine.
  12. Hi Phil No l haven't heard of the Simonini engines l goggled them they are dearer that 582 . If the wife says buy a new one then BUY BUY before she changes her mind. The price of the 582 with the e type box it a good deal you can get cheaper rads than the price they are asking, l should be able to dig up a oil tank for you from German if that's the way you are going. l picked up the new horse today for the wife so she is happy now , l can spend thousands on my planes again. cheers Geoff.
  13. Hi Phil Sounds good but what comes with it does that include exhaust, rads ,oil system. cheers Geoff
  14. Hi FM the ratio should be stamped on the front of the box there is a small flat rectangle check there. cheers Geoff.
  15. Hi FM the best combination for that size prop with 582 is C type box with ratio of 2.62:1. cheers
  16. Good luck Mark hope you have a speedy recovery. Cheers Geoff.
  17. Hi Phil Have you got over your flu yet ,l was set up to paint everything to today but to hot . Haven't found any engines for you yet still wait for Danny in German to get back to me. cheers Geoff.
  18. Hi Phil Happy New Year..... Yes sore head to old for it now. Ring Richard Eacott Ph 0754632476. Had to re route the fuel line in the wings it clashed with the fus tube near the rear wing attachment . cheer Geoff
  19. Hi Met if you fly close to a nuclear blast the EM pulse should de magnetize the Fox youwill suffer other problems but a least your compass should work correctly cheers Geoff.

    Hi Bacon Yes spray it on then rub it in with a soft cloth l use about 1/2 liter to do the wings and tail plane l don't do the underside .
  21. Hi Flyerme that radiator looks like it would produce a lot of drag do you need it on that angle. cheers Geoff.
  22. Hi Phil Put some thinners on a scotch brite give it a good clean scuff it up a bit just before you are going to paint it wipe it down with some prep sole then etch prime it don't etch prime unless you are going to top coat it with in two hours if you do that you will get a better bond between paints. l did the doors today new skins they are ready to paint ,just got to buy the lexan for the screen and doors,roofs all done. cheers Geoff.
  23. Hi Dazza Love the color scheme is it a twin seater hard to tell in this light.
