    I'm planning to attend Oshkosh 2024 and asking about what type and price (towards budget end of market if possible) for a twin share is available. Don't want a 4 or more to a room setup. Any replies please advise distance to the venue etc. Thanks in advance for any advice and info.

    How does your load mass (empty aircraft, you, fuel, cargo etc) fit to the J160 specs being:- Forward Limit: 180-mm (7.09”, 18.2%MAC) aft of datum up to & including 440 kg (970lb) 233-mm (9.17”, 23.5%MAC) aft of datum at 540kg (1190lb) Linear variation between points. Aft Limit 292-mm (11.50”, 29.5%) aft of datum at all weights Datum Wing Leading Edge Cheers and look forward to your flight feed back.

    That one was just over 7kg, less than 8kg.

    It's all relative to being safe for flight; my Blanik glider had shaped lead weight secured to inside the forward most frame, just inside the nose cowl to keep correct w&b. A normal practice like Jabs put lead shot in the tail etc.

    Images of mass balance on a Bristelle I took today during an annual. Bolted to crankcase.

    Same here, glad it's good for 4 years as getting harder to obtain the concentrate.

    Not sure; the data sheet for Radicool premix I read was water percentage at 40 to 50% and sg 1.07. And freezing at the 50% is listed; therefore assume close to 50:50 mix.

    Get Castrol Radicool premixed and get a price from Maxiparts as will be cheapest I reckon. You need about 2.5 litres and premix will be a 5 litre pack.

    Bristelle are one example of secured 'Mass Ballast' that is bolted to the lower area of the engine mount.

    Have you heard any news on when RAAus will have w&b approvals back; heard was to be September. Planning to email a question next week. Cheers.

    Even the Blackhawks could not perform in heavy rain back at the start of the 1990's; those who worked on them will know the details.

    Add in the Whitworth spanner and socket sizing to the joys of British aircraft compared to USA aircraft back pre 1960 from what I hear.

    Try RAA site

    Would be good to read the test results before commuting to buy. Surely Rotax have the 916 doing plenty of hours before making available??

    Write to the editor and give him an article on SGS also include specs of the engine prop etc.

    This type? not real dear to buy.
  19. Blueadventures
    Yep, absolutely agree; works a treat.

    230D basic starts at $163k of their webb site.
  21. Blueadventures
    Nearly, but still not enough lift generated by the wing profile.
  22. Blueadventures
    Understand; however that is what I desire and believe there would be others out there in the aviation market sector. Could be retro fit to the existing 230 fuses. Not everyone wants to travel vast distances; just operate within say up to 3 hours and carry 5 plus hours of fuel. IMHO.
  23. Blueadventures
    Agree; as I have said a few times I would like to see an option of a slower wing that would allow the average low hour pilot to get out with a shorter ground run and slower stall speed and therefore less float so land much shorter. Give their aero engineers a challenge. Cheers

    This is one of the very best events ever. Just up the road (airtime) from you. "The Old Sation Flyin" May 2024. See you there.
