    Australia Day model fly in. Just so happens my pit crew, Peter was the chef mechanic that did the inspection of my Bushcat 🙂

    Finally put one in the plane. Little jobs 🙂

    So anyway, I was out driving my Lamborghini Miura the other day...

    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 🙂
  14. danny_galaga
    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

    More information about "Beautiful wooden propeller to suit Rotax 912UL or man cave"
    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 😄
  18. danny_galaga
    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/
  19. danny_galaga
    Probably.
  20. danny_galaga
    Not random at all. I wondered if there might have been a small engine fire
  21. danny_galaga
    Some good follow up info, from Hackaday, of all places! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/10/failed-3d-printed-part-brings-down-small-plane/
  22. danny_galaga
    Which is, of course the whole front end of my aircraft 😄
  23. danny_galaga
    Is that fibreglass?
  24. danny_galaga
    Good point. I'm pretty sure I've seen fibreglass (GRP) shrouds etc in engine bays. They are combustible. But would probably burn slowly, could be why fibreglass is allowed?

    If you've seen how course something like a pla print is, you'd see the resin will permanently bond to it. But if course you can do the other way and lay up INSIDE the print.
