No ones gonna sue you Hongie, the other guys are just referring to my thread here http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/mystery-mayday-call.38765/ is all. It's all good mate. Pud

Good one Ian! I like to use the shop and your improvements will help me do that. Pud
-
No!

Well done Mark!! Exciting times ahead indeed:smile: Pud
-
Goodonya Solomon, You are a winner even if you don't win!! Pud

Ahh, so it's you playing silly buggars Alan. Pud

Someone playing silly buggars? Pud

Townsvilles' Bluewater park airstrip fly-in a success......

Ditto, I'm curious too:smile: Pud -
Does anyone know anything about this? http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/national/13649794/mystery-may-day-call-sparks-plane-fears/ Pud

I'm out of town Monday and Tuesday, but would love to meet up David. Let's get a PM going and see what we can do. Pud

Well not really seeing as how I wouldn't know how to write one. But what I have done is written down my impressions of flying my T500 25-0331 I affectionately call Gaygirl after my wife. See what you think of the attached review. Pud T500 Thruster 25-0331 Flight Review.pdf T500 Thruster 25-0331 Flight Review.pdf T500 Thruster 25-0331 Flight Review.pdf

I visited a motorcycle wreckers today and parted with $75 to get this.... I'll fit it similar to how SAJ has configured his setup. I think it will work very well, although the extra cooling area it gives me is 264cm2, when I only require 166cm2. I'll play with that once I see how it affects the operating temperature. What do you think? Pud

Is it a pusher? Pud

That's very generous of you Maj, funny thing is, I was looking at the photo posted above and was thinking the same thing. Not the first time I've thought it either - just done nothing about it. I'll PM you my details. Don't believe I'll need a tacho any time soon but there was someone who posted in a forum on this site somewhere recently who was looking for one. Pud
-
Interesting Don, I recall a post from one of those ol' geezers - could have been turbz or facthunter who did ask the question about specs being changed. I didn't give it much thought at the time but it could be a plausible answer. Pud
-
Thanks SAJ, I agonised for days over the design of the dash, and posted about it on the forums here somewhere:smash pc: Pud
-
Yep, that's what I'm gonna do!!! Pud
-
That would be a bit cool eh? Well 55 kts at 2400' at least!! But just in case you missed it turbz; water temp gauge reads 65*, egts read 1150*, time is 1308, and tacho reads 5200. Pud
-
Some photos of a fly around after solving the overheating issue. Check that temp gauge!! Pud

According to Gary Flood and all other references I can find, the standard main jet size is 165, and that's what is in both my carbies. If you apply the conversion for my environmental conditions (airfield at 1330'amsl and 30*c) I need a 155. But that would lean it off a bit, so I'm staying with the 165 jets. Pud
-
That's too modern for those guys motz - if they stalled their cars it was get out the crank handle. lol Pud
-
Tan/brownish but on the lighter side. EGTs with a 50# spread at 1100* when at 6000 RPM Pud

And the winner is Keith Page!!! Thanks Keith. I tried everything else conceivable as discussed in previous posts but the high temps remained until I changed to the larger radiators - thanks for the lend of your radiators Riley, much appreciated. The 6200RPM max issue is still current though. I tried all ideas put forward, checked the carbies (simple concept aren't they?) including pulling all jets and needles. All is as it should be with 165 main jets, needles under the white plastic spring cups, and the slides operating through the full range and in syncro with one another. I think I might have to accept defeat on this one:see no evil:Maj Millard says if the carbies are correct then look elsewhere - meaning the propeller, and has been suggested, I could source a known propeller to check what that would do on my setup. I'll see.... Thanks everyone for your contribution, I'm gonna let the situation sit for a while now, and enjoy a bit of flying without too much tinkering. Although I need to acquire the larger radiator assembly as the one I used this weekend is on loan from the very generous Riley. Thanks again Riley, I appreciate your help and good humour in allowing me to use your radiators for this little diagnosis exercise. Pud

Is that the one through your neck holding the head in place? Pud
