Many, including me, use this design, from K & n https://www.knfilters.com/re-5287-universal-rubber-filter -
Mine have a similar heater. A bit more hose, but I've decided it's worth it. I like that it virtually imparts no heat to the inlet air, it just keeps the surfaces warmer, which is where the ice sticks after all 😇

Again, we need the 😲 reaction on this forum. Damn, I know there could be a multitude of factors in play, but it really seems like he doesn't know to keep airspeed up, in this case by lowering the nose. Of course there could be reasonable explanations, like partial power failure, and there's not much time for the WTF effect to have passed.

Many of us are out of that category unfortunately.

Link?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we need a 😲 reaction

Much more sensible cloth hinges used during the repairs 🙂

Well, it turns out that making the hinge from tissue wasn't such a good idea 😄 I can't even remember why I did it that way. Quick to do I guess. Will add cloth hinges when repaired

Beautiful wooden propeller to suit Rotax 912UL or man cave
danny_galaga posted a classified in Engines and Props
For sale. I'm doing this for a really great price for forum members, but the proviso is that for that price it is definitely pick up only, southside Brisbane. This is a P prop. Made in South Africa. This is their website: http://www.p-propeller.co.za/ This is a beautiful wooden propeller. 72 X 48 two blade. This design was first tested on a different aircraft to mine but broadly similar to mine. Mine is a Bushcat. What I didn't realise though, is that the other aircraft must have been a 912UL with a 2.27:1 gearbox. Because when it came time test fly mine (2.43:1 gearbox) it could only manage 65 knots and the engine could redline on takeoff. I've since replaced it with a more suitable, but less elegant looking propeller. This prop was removed at 21.4 hours. It's a pity as it is really lovely. Comes with the spinner and front plate. And I'm throwing in a superfluous to me hub adaptor with one doover missing. So if you have a 2.27:1 gearbox or a mancave that needs jazzing up, pm me! Note: you will have to do your homework about whether this propeller suits your needs. Just in case I have trouble attaching pics, here's some links to pics of it installed on my Bushcat -
That was the point of that air duct. They had fitted a new induction system, presumably replacing the carby.

Lycoming 0360. Not sure how you came up with Rotec 😄

Yeah, I linked to a useful article, but its in the previous page. Here it is again https://hackaday.com/2025/12/10/failed-3d-printed-part-brings-down-small-plane/

Probably.

Not random at all. I wondered if there might have been a small engine fire

Some good follow up info, from Hackaday, of all places! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/10/failed-3d-printed-part-brings-down-small-plane/
