    Looks like the offender has been apprehended... http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/man-charged-over-airport-radio-hoax-calls/news-story/d0f144fb930d5661b997c4d01a6e816f

    at Marty_d.. I made exactly that type of fairing out of .016" 2024 to cover 32mm diameter struts for my old 95:10 buzz bucket. I put the bottom sheet on the inside of the lip to help keep it together. No issues with cracking along the trailing edge with the right bend radius and made they a huge difference in drag reduction. Biggest problem was people grabbing onto the fairings to help move the aircraft and popping the edge out of the lip as I only had minimal rivets keeping it together.

    Flywheel bolts

    aj_richo replied to quentas's topic in Jabiru

    The Nordloc washer solution for flywheel bolts makes the Loctite method redundant.

    I saw an item like these at Sprint Autoparts recently, black plastic almost identical to the items in the first few seconds of the video. Came in a box about 100 x 100 x 140 deep. Looked like it would be easy to attach to my engine mount and connect to the filler outlet, but seems to have extra connection for pcv valve? I guess it could be blocked off.

    Maybe its not so good to go there...(edcoatescollection) our proxy server says..

    R279 covers the water between KI and Yorkies

    I don't think I've ever seen it active but I have been in a P3C going low level coastal to the southeast of KI to do sonobuoy runs on Whale Rock, then back around through the north side of KI sightseeing.. err surveillance so they do use it.. wouldn't know if they activated then long time ago

    RA2 so need to contact military for permission since nothing in ERSA for published route, I'd be ringing Edinburgh tower prior to departure?

    Assuming you're making it out of metal, Id be worried about potential fatigue and sucking parts it into the cylinder..

    I have an Aerocarb/Aeroinjector on my 2200 (2012 hydraulic lifter), which gives manual mixture control. Instrumentation is a Dynon 180 with 4 x EGT/CHT and fuel flow. I find the fuel distribution on mine at 2850/2900 RPM tends to run rich on 3 and 4, leaner on 1 and 2. Number 1 is the leanest. Maybe because of the longer intake tubes.. I dunno. #3 CHT is always the hottest. I should take some air from #2 and duct it across the engine to #3. I manage fuel flows using the mixture control, I expect to see 25Ltrs per hour on takeoff and EGTs below 700. If they creep over I tend to back the throttle off slightly. Cruise I will lean to around 15-16 litres per hour, any more and it will start to give little burps. EGTs #1 will be around 700-710C, #2 will be around 680C, 3 and 4 around 640C The early aerocarbs are a little rough with their manufacturing tolerances and RPM/mixture tends to wander a bit. This is a shot of my panel cruising at 3500' to Ehuca last Saturday. Fairly typical numbers, I think OAT was around 12C.

    Mmm.. on approach it sounds like hi-pitch fan noise but as it passes by, it changes to a sweeter high revving exhaust noise.. but what do I know, I haven't seen it up front and personal

    If you can put up with the stupid music, the engine is really working on the flyby.. must be close to max rpm. One wonders about the longevity of the engine?

    A flying bench?

    I'll vouch for the Vority Dual USB car charger from Amazon. 3.1A and 1A outlets. It will charge my mini iPad and iphone together and most importantly, NO radio interference on the MGL v6 when charging.

    No need to purchase a tube cutter for the wheel, an ordinary tin opener cutter works fine, local bloke made one out of a few bits and pieces lying about his shed.

    Bloomin' sprogs - they're everywhere

    Mmm... burning aircraft.. bushfire.. burning aircraft... bushfire... either way you going to start one

    I'd be just as wary of a Jabiru engine, maybe more so.. especially since the cold start kits came on the market

    Congratulations Peter! I stopped at Goolwa for fuel at around 10-10:30 Sunday 28th, your hangar was shut so I guess I missed all the action! Cheers Tony

    Bruce, have you spoken to the pilot involved to get the facts of what happened and the sequence of events following? To be fair to him, there is a little bit more to it than what you have outlined, as he explained it to me.

    Hello Peter... flown that Onex yet? Not yet, intend to borrow one for the next compression check. Thought about making one out of the bits, I can reuse the plug adapters and hose.
