    I had to replace my Tacho sensor, Couldn't get one anywhere.. I purchased this one with freight about AU$120 This one was just a couple of threads too short for my application, 3300A solid lifter engine. But as the threat in the mounting bracket was damaged, I drilled it out and used the locking nuts to secure it in place. I had to counter sink the top nut so to get enough depth. So all in all worked out well and Tacho is now working.

    Tried one of these in my J200 recently(after reading your post) as the odyssey battery couldn't cope with the winter cold starts... So far so good, with temps below 0 deg The Mottobatt starts it first go no problems.. Cost me $175 delivered. The two way terminals is a good feature too.

    Isn't it Funny how the so called main stream media only started "Fact Checking" Once they had lost control of the narrative.

    Hi, Anyone know where I can get either a replacement, or parts for these.. Glass/Plastic is not very transparent, very hard to check fuel level in flight. Thanks..

    Last year when I was there we visited the international visitors tent, Free dinner. Catch up we people from around the world.. Great night! Wish I was going again this year, but needed a new car... Next Year! Also sea planes a must do!, a short bus ride from the front gate. Keith.

    Yeah, Sound advice.. The extra speed with of the CruZer over the 750 STOL, I would have to agree 3 point latch is the only way to go, with bubble doors.
  8. keith.b
    I did think about that but I would need to set it up for 3 point latch, as I been told the aft side of the bubble doors suck open about an 1" in flight. But will give it more thought. Regards Keith

    I see, very handy tool, I assume it sits in the top of the leg then hook under bungee pull up? good idea. Regards Keith

    Well, I don't. Not that I know what a JG bungee tool looks like... Regards Keith

    Next time I have the leg out, I'll trim it then. I can't easily go back to a bungee as I didn't recess the rivet around the bungee pin & I also pulled the rivets the opposite way in the channel. When I was @ Oshkosh this year, I noticed the Zeniths demo CruZer sitting low in the nose, it had taxied in over rough ground and it's bungee failed. I would hate to try and fit one with the engine in the way. The steel spring adds a bit of weight but a small price for a much better setup. (my opinion) Regards Keith

    I hope he can get it to market soon, The market needs it! But I have been planning this for the last 5+ years. Regards Keith

    I'd rather not say just yet. It's a little left field. It will be turbo charged producing 160hp. The only issue is weight, might not be able to squeeze it into RA-Aus, might have to go VH RPL Regards Keith

    Put a deposit on an engine and reduction box, hopefully take delivery next month.... My opinion is that a lot of the engines are relatively new to the market and don't have a lot of runs on the board so to speak, So if I'm going to be a research and development and a test pilot might as well be for myself.

    What handle does the Savannah use? Any pics?
  17. keith.b
    Thanks, been a very enjoyable build so far. Yeah the spring is heaps better idea than the bungee. Regarding engine choice, no not viking, but will be an auto conversion. Regards Keith.

    Speaking with Jan @ Oshkosh I believe he said he had one on a dyno in the U.K. and was waiting fore the results. not sure why the UK didn't ask. keith.b

    Hi everyone, I'm building a Zenith 750 CruZer, fuselage almost finished. Will be installing the optional bubble doors shortly, but the door handles supplied in the kit are like garage access door handles., ugly as. Does anyone know of a better option? Any ideas would be appreciated as I don't want to have to use these ones... Regards Keith.

    Any one going to ausfly via Adelaide with a spare seat? I know I've left it late, but just got time off work. Regards Keith..

    I just got my copy during my trip to Oshkosh, just got back haven't started reading it yet..

    Yes they add a bit of extra weight, But I am keeping track of the weight and will ensure to save it elsewhere if need be. Regards Keith.

    First time to the US... Thanks for the advice, I have started a mud map, I'll ensure I have a more detailed plan before I leave. Regards Keith.
