    No, not as PIC from the cockpit. 🙃

    Looks like you need to get your inflight cockpit view video endorsement BFR done🙃 I've now got a sore neck. Cheers.

    Yep, did read about their scaled pricing plans. Maybe use when landed only on the cheapest plan, also maybe setup up an air switch to power it in flight so it is off when above 80 kts, so if need to use in flight then slow to 80 kts and below to use.

    Like, however the casting hole fault in the cylinder is inexcusable and unacceptable.

    He hit the Bulls eye with same issues described in the video above and the other video about the engine specifically.

    Damn terrible, complete waste of everyones time, lucky this guy lived close. He seems to give good attention to detail. Piss poor engine quality control, you'd expect them to have run the engine pre to despatch.
  7. Blueadventures
    I watched his engine install, very poor engine build, terrible cylinder castings, poor electronic modules. Terrible for delivered engine and terrible after purchase support. Could not have run the engine pre first delivery. Understand why he is so disappointed with them.

    Should be good fishing up there.

    Agree, Sonex need to checkout how the Vixxen is setup.

    Nice.

    It's an amp meter. As Flyboy says.

    That's how it is 95% of the time, when clear too many visual references can be seen so hard to find the right heading without compass or the GPS aides.
  13. Blueadventures
    I regularly make a written note of my total error between aircraft compass and chart heading on my flight record sheet so I can use that info for heading whenever / if ever needed. Just a habit of mine.

    These are made with brother label printer. Been over 10 years now. Allows your personal requirements.
  15. Blueadventures
    I used a brother label printer black background and white letters and numbers. Looks nice for my requirements. There is a topic show us your panels and you will see a variety of print work to get ideas.

    And be aware of target fixation. 🙃

    Regarding PLB etc, Best to consider carrying two PLB's (don't want your one to be U/S or damaged when needed, practical backup) Water (plenty) in multiple containers (guard against a leak and can help stowage), some food, first aid kit, light full cover clothing and foot ware. (Even a boat 'V' sheet - orange can be helpful to aide detection - cheap and light.) These are my go to items for outback trips. Also a handheld VHF radio will be helpful.

    They are suitable and need slight alteration of wiring, Rotax part is plug and play with existing. The item mentioned is interesting and nice on pocket. The Carr115 looks good.
  19. Blueadventures
    Did you sort an answer to this question so you get a suitable one? (Compatible Vehicles: Different motorcycles have different magneto output voltage, power, and other parameters. When ordering, you will need to select a voltage stabilizer that matches your model.) Let us know how you get on.
  20. Blueadventures
    Good news, just buy the Rotax one (it'll be plug and play, ensure earthing connection is good, I fit dedicated negative from reg / reg to battery, don't rely on air frame) Yep the Rotax ones can be a bit sus but you want to be flying now; so sort an alternate one later if you want.

    Hook up a multimeter to a male plug for the 12v cig lighter type outlet and see what volts your making, needs to be 13.6 +.
  22. Blueadventures
    First checks after start includes voltage increase to 13.6 - 13.8v; if that does not occur then you will be doing a set of checks (usually faulty rec/reg or if lucky just poor connections to the rec/reg. Do your volts increase after start?
  23. Blueadventures
    Reuse original one this time, make sure you use two spanners on drain nut. One for can hex and one on drain nut and undo between spanner forces.

    It has a circular cutter; they all have a circular cutter; same as copper pipe cutters.

    There was a story about aluminium hulled and cabin vessels were a mercury filled thermometer broke and the ball of mercury corroded a hole down through the hull.
