    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    I am pretty sure that's what I fitted. Will check today. They were recommended for jabiru.

    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

    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.

    That looks like it is well made too and recommended for lifepo

    I already have a power mate. Good Aussie product . Sad to hear they don't make them any more.

    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 .

    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.

    i know its not an issue, each to his own i suppose.
  14. BrendAn
    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.

    there is a windsock that looks like the wind is straight down the runway

  17. BrendAn
    Seriously..

    thats a bugger, is there anything else as good that you know of.
  19. BrendAn
    aircraft spruce, as spacey said.
  20. BrendAn
    thats the one
  21. BrendAn
    yes, but a with a very good reputation and not all that expensive either.
  22. BrendAn
    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.
  23. BrendAn
    just a quality regulator
  24. BrendAn
    if i keep the xair i might look at fitting a rotec alternator kit.
  25. BrendAn
    mine runs through a powermate , would that help. they are supposed to a top of the range rectifier regulator.
