    Raaus are dead against bringing it in because they are afraid of losing members and their money. But it would only be a small group that would switch anyway.

    Show us the equivalent of part 103. I don't understand what you're talking about.
  3. BrendAn
    We don't have the equivalent to 103. Are you talking about the early category. 300ft ceiling . No flight over bitumen rds.

    I watched a YouTube yesterday. a flight in a Cirrus sr22. The owner said Cirrus advise 600ft minimum to deploy chute but the manufacturer of the chutes says deploy at any height. I have read of a chute deployment at 100 ft that saved the pilots life.

    Witnesses observed it flying very low struggling to gain altitude.

    I realise it won't be compulsory. The point I was making is raa is moving into the GA world .

    he flipped his Cessna on its roof after an engine failure but he thinks everyone else should have their planes signed off.🤣 the other person saying too many young pilots getting killed. where are the records of that.

    hi mate, would you be able to post pics and updates on the build as you go along. i and others would love to watch your progress. did you import the kit or do they have an agent in australia. aircraft spruce?

    cat g and cta endorsement will push raaus even further away from affordable flying than it is now.
  15. BrendAn
    are you talking about 95-10
  16. BrendAn
    bring on part 103. casa want it. raaus don't. a lot of other countries have it and its gaining popularity. single seat. keep away from busy areas and fly low 500 to 1500 agl. i would be happy with that, in the unlikely event that i got killed who cares, didn't take anyone with me.

    pork chops would be popular if they tried them

    your right. the daily mail footage shows a heli winching up a survivor in a life jacket as well. different crash to yesterdays.

    what the government waste every day would cover plenty of atsb investigations. priorities are out of wack in this country.

    THE BIG DEBATE is the 40:1 PREMIX RATIO. I been rebuilding the Rotax 2 stroke crankshafts since January 2011. Since then, I have learned a lot. Most other manufactures use 2 piling slots at the lower eye in the connecting rod to supply more oil to that prone to fail bearing. WSM, a large improvement company, builds replacement rods for the 582 engines with the required 2 oil slots. Now PLEASE understand this: every two out of three 582 engines that fail, does so in the lower rod bearing, which burns up causing the failure. Since I started rebuilding these crankshafts I have NEVER had one single 582 lower rod bearing fail. WHY? 70% of the cure is 40:1 gas oil ratio. The other 30% is due to the double oil slot. this is from rotax rick , what don mentioned earlier.
  21. BrendAn
    well it was a lot more than 40-1 to do that. 1200 hours flying 2 stroke you know that.
  22. BrendAn
    that might be possible with a super rich mixture not 40 -1. in the 1980's australian built johnson outboards ran on 100-1 premix, after a few engine failures they advised all owners to switch to 50-1 with no jet changes. that is double the oil and certainly did not lean the engines out, it saved them. a friend has run 40-1 in 503 and 582s for years. your mate had an engine failure from something besides rich oil mix.
  23. BrendAn
    a good example is my vro johnson outboard. i have just reconnected the oil injection tank. any time you do that the omc manual tells you to premix the fuel in the tank at 100-1 and mark the oil tank to make sure its drawing oil for the next ten hours then you go back to straight fuel in the tank. so it runs 50-1 through the vro plus the 100-1 at cruising revs. i believe the biggest killer of 2 strokes is overloading from incorrect prop selection. doesn't matter if its pushing water or air.
  24. BrendAn
    an engine on less than half the recommended oil is not going to last long. we were talking about 40 from 50 -1 adding another 100ml to 20 lt does more good than harm. and modern 2 stroke oils are great, plugs don't foul like they used too.
  25. BrendAn
    Rubbish. Running a jabiru engine is a lot more involved than a 2 stroke. Anyone that thinks 40-1 is bad for. A 2 stroke has not had much to do with them.
