just had a flash fuel filter fitted to my bt50 ute. wondered if it could be adapted to our aircraft , has the micron down to 2 separates any water and if detected shows a warning light, has its own internal pump, bit on the bulky side though.
-
sport pilot,I understand it takes up a bit of time , wondering if it came out bi monthly so they had more time to research more flight tests etc and maybe reinstate the classified section which was the first thing I looked at , I reckon I read one article on radio use that was just repeated from a past issue.
-
just got the latest mag, looks like its going the same way as the old pacific flyer, not many articles and full of pictures, I enjoyed reading the flying tests of any of our planes, , the technical stuff is good so are the trips away by pilots .
-
The first time I've heard this requirement, at any flight level!
-
Plane has a ceiling of 16000 ft , I know it was maybe a stupid question and rightly so deserved some of the answers, but up to 18000ft if it's still under VFR. these levels might get you out of the hot summer lumpy air
-
Thanks frank, that's what I thought, so how high can you go?
-
I understand the upper limit for Raa , but if prepared to carry oxygen can rpl flyers legally go higher
-
Rpl Is there a height restriction for rpl , Raa has 9500 , is rpl the same
-
That's what I thought , everything from the firewall forward , and maybe some of the gauges will need to be changed, he said it cruised at 150 using just over 30lts ran smooth and sounded great
-
I reckon I spoke to him , the Rv is pretty cheap but to change the engine over to a lycombing if it failed not much change out of $60k
-
anyone had any experience with the jab 8 cylinder engine, reliability etc
-
Plane is set up for glider towing, so as it starts its run the at full fine it can't over rev because of the glider hanging off the back but with no glider it will , the owner is worried that the clutch maybe letting go as it over revs on the first tow also makes a different noise , we think the easiest way to test is to send the box back to floods, reading the Rotax manuals I think there is a way to check the torque but looks hard enough to figure out
-
Thanks nev, you might be on the right track
-
It over revs on the fine set for glider tow on the first flight after that on the same setting it performs ok,
-
I thought the clutch was designed to slip in case of prop strike which I turn saves the pressed crank from twisting. It's not a csu you manually set the pitch using a crank handle in the cab

Inflight adjustable , Kašpar

Got a mate towing gliders and noticed first tow the engine revs to high then settles down, could the clutch be slipping in the box , engine is low hours any ideas ?
-
I fitted a knock sensor to my 914, thinking it might show up stale fuel , bolted the Mike somewhere near the rocker cover , series of lights on a display inside cab which light up when engine is high up in the rev range but I don't think it picks up any detonation or maybe the motor has never had a problem

Worth a try

Won't stop raining, thanks for the interest

I wasn't really concerned with the weight of my Xair , I am having trouble getting my head around my sabre ending up with a lower MTOW than the Xair , although all the rego renewals have came back at 544 so l am guessing it has been sorted out and that fantastic looking blue sabre ,regardless of the dispute , can legally find a new home

I might need more HP , but I think yours is a bit different to mine
