  1. Great job Damian. Send me a mailing address and I will send you a genuine Rotax 2 stroke tacho. I have a couple. No charge ,happy to see it gets used.
  2. They were going to sell them on here in the shop. I will see if they are available
  3. Radio seemed fine today . Rpm didn't have any effect, the only thing I noticed was the volts were sitting on an even 14 today. When the inference was bad was when i had to jump start it . Maybe more to do with charging circuit. Anyway I will leave it alone now while it's good. A friend did say I should invest in anr headsets because there is so much background noise in the xair.
  4. The radio is an icom a210 . Not a handheld. The intercom is built into the radio. The wiring to the headset plugs is very short. It does have anl .
  5. These are the plugs and leads. Today I played around a bit with the radio and I turned the intercom off. It seems to be pretty good now. Radio is icom a210.
  6. I am pretty sure that's what I fitted. Will check today. They were recommended for jabiru.
  7. I noticed today my radio interference was so bad at 2800 rpm it was a struggle to hear a reply from another aircraft . If I cut the throttle the noise disappears. How do I tell if this is ignition or alternator noise. Also when we did the annual recently I changed to iridium plugs. Would that cause any issues. Tia
  8. I have rebuilt plenty of starters in the past . This thing uses a 1989 corolla starter with jabiru made snout. I can get a new aftermarket starter for $165 and swap the snout over.
  9. That looks like it is well made too and recommended for lifepo
  10. I already have a power mate. Good Aussie product . Sad to hear they don't make them any more.
  11. I think I will have to do a starter rebuild. Freshly charges 270cca and it is only just winding over fast enough to start this morning and it's a fairly warm day .
  12. they are good value. buy them over the counter here. early mustang is the same as well. there is a good jabiru alternative supplier list online compiled by someone in the uk.
  13. i know its not an issue, each to his own i suppose.
  14. i think its a bit over the top. i just give my plugs a squirt of oil or crc and have never had a problem. as nev says correct torque is the most important thing, thats what we were taught at trade school.
  15. there is a windsock that looks like the wind is straight down the runway
  16. thats a bugger, is there anything else as good that you know of.
  17. aircraft spruce, as spacey said.
  18. thats the one
  19. yes, but a with a very good reputation and not all that expensive either.
  20. we learn to fly without rudder in one of the modules but i guess that goes out the window if the vertical fin is missing or hanging to one side.
  21. just a quality regulator
  22. if i keep the xair i might look at fitting a rotec alternator kit.
  23. mine runs through a powermate , would that help. they are supposed to a top of the range rectifier regulator.
