  1. Hand turned to the LOCKED cylinder.

    Then it stops. you then have to remove the plug or squeeze the oil past the rings.

    Watched a DH seaplane in Lake Toupo NZ, struggle to turn over his engine "on the starter", and had to use a paddle to return to the dock.

    then he tried hand turning the prop past the locked cylinder, only to have to remove bottom spark-plug, dropping a big splash of oil onto said dock, (very thick, unlike car oil ).

    I wouldn't think that spark-plug would fire with it being full of oil.

  2. F,H.

    I have just had the test, it,s almost Painful.

    I think the app is much less traumatic to have your phone Take that stick ( swab ) test than your nose.

    So another will be downloading the APP, even after I read it can be used for tracking.

  3. My phone has neighther WIFI Blue tooth nor data switched on, and, just to annoy those that like to track, I switch it off, often.

    So no trianglation, on this phone untill I,m thinking of using it. Especially driving !??

  4. CB,s look so UPMARKET !.

    Have you ever tried to repair a Fuse.

    Push that circuit button, & if it holds finish what you need to do ,before replacement. After trying to found the reason it tripped , Is so much easier than trying to solder a thin wire into a glass fuse, if none are available at the moment you need one to complete your journey.

    I have done this so many times in the Old days, Just a piece of thin electrical wire, then , one strand for the fuse, And a 12 V soldering iron.

    Even rewired a blown Regulator with a Headlight globe, to keep the car running.

  5. When you have succeeded in compiling all the Jabiru information, will you discard it .

    OR

    Can we get a nice little booklet, without the trouible that you are having,

    Lots of people will need a quick guide to the second-hand Jabiru market.

    Lot of thanks for that future "guide to the Jabiru aeroplane" ( of course we know they will change everything as soon as it is written ). LoL

  6. " . I have it set to go to sleep at night with "Do Not Disturb" on from 21:00 to 07:00 though so that saves a lot of power and battery saver on during the day means most apps run in the background. If I turn everything off except the phone function my battery will last at least 2 weeks on standby. ".

    I think instead of your phone sleeping , it is better for those " cold callers " overseas advertising chaps to know MY phone is OFF when not needed.

    Bluetooth does take a little of battery life, as it's another program working & looking for a partner Bluetooth, to latch-on-to.

    Surly, If you haven't activated "roaming/ GPS, & my position. IT can't follow you ?.

    If No phone coverage, how do they contact you to say " you have been assessed as being too close for comfort".
