Downunder

A bit like selling its member's details to a retailer of aviation orientated products,

 

That could well be, now the precedent has been set.....

It was Onetrack who mentioned cable size/amp rating.

 

My mistake.....won't happen again.....?

I'm not sure if this is the one, 33 G as there seems to be a couple of reduction gear ratios.

50:1 and 312:1....... and some others it seems.

This is the pdf for the 50:1 unit....

You really need to check current draw through the range of movement.

Nev maybe correct that the limit is set wrong. I would expect a constant current draw throughout the movement range while engine is not running. If it runs out of "stroke" that will definately make motors fail.

Skippy makes a very good point about cable connections and size.

My aircraft mfg undersized my battery cable significantly for example. Now corrected to Rotax specs. 

Is the motor labeled or have specs? Manufacturer or model number?

In the Flight Design CTSW I've looked at, the motor drives a screw so I guess there is no load on the electric motor unless changing pitch.

I would really hope it's not the motor holding the pitch on yours.....

Could be a lubrication issue. Inadequate lubrication or wrong type? (Not sure exactly what requires lubrication on your system. Linkages, threads and/or bearings)

Sounds like the motor is struggling to overcome the forces required to change pitch.

You could probably test current draw of the motor to see if it is within spec.

Why wage war to take over a country when it can be bought for half the price.?

A bit better than the ones I saw last week....... or is it the thought that counts?

Prop rpm is a major consideration. As yenn stated, more rpm requires less diameter to stay under speed of sound at the blade tip.

I would have no problem at all paying $144 for a week or so hangarage while enroute.(In fact, I would seek it out)

VERY light, empty aircraft with high lift wings in any sort of mild wind actively want to become kites.

Money well spend for piece of mind and aircraft security. ..

As back up, think about a Handheld connected to a Headset

 

This one has full size aviation jacks.  https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/pj2-handheld-com-radio.html

Personally I like trig stuff....

I think they work out that you need to be earning a certain amount of income to start paying the loan back.

Motorcycle shops often have Plexus for helmet visors.

Could this possibly be true? Just out of interest, how many forum participants think they have flown over 70 hours since January?  I obviously haven't. See above

 

Yeah, I probably have. 80 to 100 per year on average.

However, how many hours I do is none of the RAA's business.?

7 years with Plexus and no problems every time before I fly.

One cloth to initally wipe and another to finish.

Don't use dirty cloth. The dirt will scratch.

Ocassionally use Plastx which is a cream type cleaner if a thorough clean is required, especially with water marks. Used probably once a year.... 

NOTE. NEVER CLEAN IN CIRCLES. UP/DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE ONLY.

How involved are the RAA in this venture I wonder? 

Plenty come with just the 2 airfilters on the carbs. 

This means they are using hot internal air and won't make as much power as a cold air fed engine. Whether it is a realistically quantifiable difference is debatable. 

Often just having the filters means you don't need a de ice carb heat system. 

Is it based at Jandakot, Northam or somewhere else? Is it more or less tatty or does it look like a major job to get airborne again, or does it look beyind repair? 

 

Sitting on a spare lot amongst hangars at Bunbury. Looks serviceable.

Will try and chase up some info...

Anyone with Ozrunways can see it on "camera view". (Might need landscape view)

VH JTT TB20 has sat lonely and unloved out in the weather for some time.....

Yes, but isn't this thread about medicals that allow that?

Maybe I've got it wrong.

"Amateur pilots" flying in "amateur" airspace is one thing Bruce, but mixing with large RPT domestic and international flights is another....

Found this in Aus...

For what it's worth, Qantas now do the bidding thing for upgrades. 

However the price of premium economy might not be too far off business class with another airline anyway.

Off on another tangent, but still relating to 912 carbs.

I noticed my (metering) needle has movement of about 1mm in and out of it's housing.

It has the o ring above the "E" clip. I would have thought the o ring should be snug against the clip and limit movement.

The securing screw is tight and all looks fine and undamaged.

Anyone else find or notice this?
