Thanks, figured it out sort of , turned the gain on the headset all the way down , while waiting for the engine to warm up, took a phone call and it worked, went flying, rang home no good , l guess the engine is still drowning my voice, that was through the hardwire so l might try the Bluetooth , l should be able to turn the radio off and it should still work just through the headset l think or unplug it .
-
It would be great if it works, to be able to phone ahead to make arrangements would make life a lot easier
-
Thanks for that, I fly with a few mates and they don’t have the same problem, on the ground it works fine but up at speed hopeless, where is the radio mic input gain and there is a setting on the phone?
-
Yep have tried the Bluetooth, no difference
-
Having trouble transmitting on my phone while airborne at cruise , new Zulu and new iPhone 8 hard wired through the jack , l can hear clear but the other end is just noise ,is the racket coming off the engine , Rotax, playing havoc with the voice activated mic
-
It looks like it’s leaking back out the cap , going to order a new one today
-
Is it possible for the non return in the cap leak , it seems like it doesn’t hold any pressure , l guess that would overfill the bottle and then draw it back , engine ran cold on the 3 hr trip but l did notice the temp gauge varying up and down slightly, can’t see any sign where it leaked but l guess the blast from prop wash would clear that away
-
I think the red nulon is more anti corrosive but not as much anti freeze which l thought was better suited, did use de ionised water, thanks for all the advice and l will have to look a bit harder
-
Thanks for that, l will change over , is it available at most auto shops
-
I don’t think there is any pressure in the bottle
-
It was red nulon
-
Been using a red coolant, looks the part, put water in at tilpa, that’s all l had, engine ran a bit on the cold side on the way home
-
Thought maybe be able to pressure the system through the barb under the cap , it should pass through the valve in the cap and then hold pressure , does this make sense
-
I believe the heads are sealed and can’t leak and there are no head gaskets , but l will look into it,
-
Having dramas with disappearing coolant from my 914 , changed every hose replaced the clamps with the spring type , then don a 14 hr trip , all good , flew up to tilpa from echuca, about 2.5 hrs , bottle empty, filled it up , came home this morning, 3.5 hrs , headwinds, bottle empty, driving me nuts, is there a chance it’s leaking past the water pump seal, not a easy fix, read somewhere it can leak in the cold weather, can’t see any visible signs, anyone come across this?
-
Thanks for your replies, that was the one , I thought it was a good idea to, take all the weight off the controls
-
Came across a ap a while ago that used a small servo that controlled a trim tab mounted in the aileron , anyone know who made them

Are RAA pilots operating outside of the charter of RAA???
rhtrudder replied to bull's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Where does this leave farmers mustering cattle on their own farm using raa certificate and rego aircraft, I know of a lot that do just that, also claiming some tax benefits on running costs and depreciation, sounds like it maybe all illegal -
Talking to a bloke at echuca fly in for roast day last month , he built a really great sling 4 seater powered by a 914 but at 110 cruise it burnt 28 litres two up, I know it is a lot more plane than my Sabre which uses about 18 at around 120, I reckon it was maybe underpowered.

Everybody knows Cliff, the PM has me confused as well but I will keep trying
-
Fly off our farm strip , near echuca, have flown to flinders and Devonport via king island, lot of desolate country once you head north west , flinders rangers onto Birdsville back home via white cliffs,if you get over this way let me know and I will guide you in
-
Never got off the ground , all the starters piked one by one , really need some escorts on these sort of trips just to keep a look out for each other, I’m always keen to fly anywhere so let me know if your happy to have another flyer to be apart of the sortie
-
Thanks Alf , I’ll pass it on .
-
Unsure , but I will find out , plane is a Europa, the one with the mono wheel and two wing stalks, gets along pretty good , thought the problem might have been a throttle cable hanging up but thinking about it the cables are pulling the butterflies closed when throttling back
