Blueadventures

I fitted a set of these, Aveo GliderBurst DayLite – Wingtip Strobe Light One on top of fin and one bottom of fuse. $451 at Aircraft Spruce Australia. I also fitted their 8 LED rectangular landing light, they have other types now. They seem about the cheapest good quality brand items.

.

What does POH say, most want it on during the landing phase and off during final; when you are easily with glide to thresh hold / aiming point to off in case of a go around.

Also sell a digital copy a bit cheaper on the Rans site. A bargain at cost less than tank of fuel.

I plan same set up as Rotax do, alloy tube with manifold pressure takeoff and rubber or silicone joiners. Yet to decide if I do the 25mm or a 19mm sizing. Will track down some results with both sizes.

I would have thought the panel would be removed and replaced and the removed panel of the switches would be assessed and examined, considering its importance to operate correctly and the recent occurrences.

He is only asking tail plane and elevators.

I have sourced a set of inlet manifolds and a mate who is a very good ally welder (used to make the inlet manifolds for the EA81’s for the early Terriers) will weld on some 19mm or so elbows when I get some. Getting there. Off an early 80hp engine.

That is close to what he would like for them, he is dropping off he log book at my hangar after 4pm today so will have that info when I'm out there next. I washed and took images of both sides and a walk around video of both top and bottom sides for info.

I'm sure there is a set, I should be out there again tomorrow. I just moved them up yesterday and had to be somewhere so just quickly placed them there, ready to clean up. PM what you think a price would be and I'll contact the owner, I'll take images of both sides of all pieces for you as well. Thanks for questions.

I'll have to check, just collected them yesterday, and plan to clean dust off them tomorrow and store. Can you see what your after in the group on floor beside my plane. I'm getting log books soon as they were this home. send pm if you like. Cheers

Yep, racing, landing, catching, refuelling, restarting and rejoining, then over taking or being overtaken, what fun, laughs and confusion, getting giddy; down at a local park. Then the combat sorties.

Send an email to them, 10 years ago Roberto assisted me with an issue, excellent product support. Hope he / they are still there. Cheers.

Agree, I feel like giving his numerous / consistent negative posts that detract from the spirit of this wonderful forum the attached message.

Agree, who wants to tell him to recheck his math? It's about as good as his comment substance.

When do you expect SAAA will issue a preliminary public update?

Been around for a bit as at Airventure in 2011 The Adventourer Kit Heli from Composite Helicopter Debuts at AirVenture By Mary Bernard - July 29, 2011 0 After seven years of development, Peter and Leanne Maloney of Composite Helicopters made their first appearance at AirVenture to promote their five to six place kit helicopter, the KC518 Adventourer. Carbon fiber and Kevlar composite construction with power from a single turbine engine (either the RR250 C20B/J or the RR250 C18/T63) make for a potentially impressive package, though the helicopter will not fly for the first time until August or September. The Mahoneys are working toward certification with both New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the FAA, and they intend to continue manufacturing and supporting kits, which will only benefit from the certification process, Peter Mahoney said.The company plans to have U.S. distributorship with staff who will be able to provide initial flight testing and transition training, though it’s recommended that customers who may not already be currently licensed to fly a helicopter get training in a Robinson before piloting the Adventourer. One of the strengths of this kit, the company says, is its unique “frameless airframe,” which is designed and engineered to be assembled from the outside in in a specific predetermined order. Based on preliminary design data with the C20B/J engine, performance specifications are estimated to include a 135-knot cruise speed, 3.6 hour endurance (on standard tanks) and 5.26-hour endurance with auxiliary tanks, though as Mahoney points out, that’s more than most pilots and passengers would want at one stretch. The hover ceiling (IGE) is expected to be more than 10,000 feet, rate of climb more than 1000 feet per minute, and maximum operating altitude 14,000 feet. With the C20 engine, the max gross weight of the helicopter will be 3200 pounds, and the empty weight 1750 pounds, leaving a useful load of 1450 pounds. The left and right storage lockers have 9 cubic feet of space each, and an aft storage locker has 9.6 cubic feet. There is literally enough room to stow a surfboard and a lot more. The cockpit will have dual controls, and the panel will have dual EFIS displays, though which type was not specified. A cargo swing, spray system, tinted windows, and doors with upper and/or lower windows are options. The basic kit price is $335,000, and the quickbuild option adds $44,500. The estimated completed price of the Adventourer is $395,000. Customer visits to the New Zealand factory are encouraged. For more information, visit www.compositehelicopter.com. The Composite Helicopter display at AirVenture is in front of Hangar D.

I believe that it would have been great if Jabiru made a thicker wing cord (wing option), that had the 230's able to take-off and land shorter, (I mean by average low hours per year competent pilots; I know that very competent / experienced with the model can land short.) The thicker cord would allow more dray and lift and bleed speed quicker on landing. I did email them about 2013 and got a reply from one of their aero engineers that it's not being looked at. In short, I'd like to see a slower s&l speed with lower stall and shorter roll distances. Just my positive 2 cents worth. Cheers.

Doesn't look good.

How many startups have you done with the vernier throttle? They take getting used to. For example; some used for starting are set;- throttle at idle and then turn vernier to provide 1/2 its rpm increase adjustment. The knob is a fine rpm adjuster and you should be able to demand movement of the main throttle movement; as it should be adjusted so the friction is enough to prevent movement that is not by the pilot (eg take hand off, should remain on that rpm setting). POH should advise. You will get used to it and like it. My preference for a R912 is not to have a vernier type.

It was good in that it showed some of the gearbox parts and others (eg overload clutch and sprag clutch). Tried to insert a bit of humour which kind of distracted the flow. Nice to watch and could have been done better and shorter. At least it is out there in the video world of Rotax information.

When I track down a set of inlet manifolds I will do an increase of crossover pipe size. It will be a positive retro fit. Any leads to a set of reasonable priced inlets appreciated. I do not wish to entertain any justification or why I’m know very keen to do a set. My engine runs sweet as I mech a pneumatic balance it and also dynamic balance prop. Just for info.

Nice, I did mention to Travis about posting course details on this forum. These courses are aimed at Rotax service agents and persons on historic wait lists and then they will advertise broadly. First day terrific and fully hands on. Highly experienced facilitator from UK. Recommended.
