    Looks like VH aircraft will be subject to annual registration fees. It might be that RAAus is a better option cost wise considering the included insurance cover etc.

    Looks nice, what price? I'm on my second RAAus CO detector ($95) and they are a compact size.

    Oil vents to fire wall bottom; away from engine bay.

    I have fitted the factory and British approved system and through firewall valve setup.

    Almost have cabin heat ready for testing. Muffler wrap to firewall valve finished. Fitted id plate. Fabed up the inside ‘T’ and finished off today (been away at Cooktown last 10 days) and will fit tomorrow. Constant rain and strong wind so no flying until weekend if lucky.

    Like seeing the dark night run. Like starting connie after dark, saw it started at Bundaberg back in the late 90's.

    Some times it’s meant to be; could have been a wedge tail bird strike midair than a kangaroo. Glad you’re ok. Cheers.

    I read that Rotax's new corporate aircraft is a high wing Sling with a 916.

    Behave mate, 2C even maybe 4C; we're in thongs , shorts and T shirts up here. 🙃

    Looking forward to some toasty warm winter flying 🙃 still to fit the 'T' in the cabin. Have some 2" alloy tube on its way, so I can fab up like in the image.
  13. Blueadventures
    Yep, I find it totally informative, and any time I have had a question Fred is amazing with his time and knowledge. Cheers.

    Had a nice fly this Anzac Day; Least we Forget. Pleasant 19•C at 2,500 and 24kts from SE. IMG_8662.mov IMG_8645.mov

    Have a look in the Aviation site of 'Wagga Bike and Tyres' they have excellent aircraft tyre comparison and prices information. Fred there may have supplied tyres for Jodels over here. Cheers.

    Welcome, Blaniks and Falkes are nice classic aircraft.

    It’s good for testing, refer to the Rotax installation wiring diagram. I wouldn’t follow the image wiring on my aircraft.
  20. Blueadventures
    Not the Rotax setup, must work. What I seek Phil to identify is a fault in the wiring, eg perhaps his capacitor is in series in the wiring to the battery Positive. Likely the wiring is not easy to follow the wiring in the harness, hence fit temporary wires as per Rotax.

    If you want to play, send a letter requesting re issue for you expiry of current issue or provide a 1/24th refund. Otherwise ask fair trading what they think of this blatant ripoff. I had similar, thought I'd be smart and renew mine a month late as didn't need it, pin on renewal was good for one or two months after due date. I sent my late bit of info to allow processing 2 days into month. When I got it it was the month before. Just a bunch of cunning so and so's. As I was late did not do above and was a month overdue when I renewed, just stretching it out. Cheers and best regards mate.

    I'd have it in the circuit as per Rotax wiring diagram. You could provide temporary wiring from rec/reg 'R' to it and then to battery negative. If no issues then follow the existing wires to their connections in the system. (there should be, likely not a wiring diagram for the build?) If you do above; insulate and support the bare, original, wires against movement and touching the frame.
  23. Blueadventures
    Sounds like you have it wired up incorrectly. R to ground is rotax hookup.
  24. Blueadventures
    Looks like pilot overshot his roll, needed to brake a bit, then nicked off quick. Nice kiss the rubber and off.
  25. Blueadventures
    From what a group meeting I was at were told, no.
