    Cost wise rego is about the same between RAA and SAAA when you compare all costs.

    That’s where a starter still engaged warning light is a benefit and also an isolation switch to allow cutting voltage.

    You will pick up speed if temps cool enough for more rpm. The extra profile drag won’t matter in this case.

    Try more lip on the lower cowl, can be achieved by bolting on with say 3mm metal threads and made of 0.5mm alloy as a trial. Gets the hot air out better. May save fitting an extra oil cooler. Cheers.

    Poor positioning and cowl design. The two are blocking air flow to the cylinder fins. Better to situate single larger radiator below gearbox output housing / shaft so ambiant temp air flow contacts cylinder fins, thereby adding to the temp removal systems efficiency. Bit more profile drag but best / better overall in my opinion.

    Agree plus maybe timetable schedule pressure.

    Story says this is a real photo and has not “photoshopped”. The “Hole in the Wall” is in Window Rock Arizona, I don’t know the exact size of the hole. it's about 200 feet high.… An A-4 threaded the needle at 300 knots. The picture can found on the Douglas Aircraft VIPs website or by searching for “Harry Gann photography”. Harry was the official photographer for Douglas Aircraft until they went out of business …. later he was a photographer for the Blue Angles. I doubt it was done a second time.

    maybe drill a 3/16 nut with 3/16" and see if that fits over or cleans off any paint goop off the pin. also see if 3/16" drill shank will fit bush. could be under size i.d. Also think about it, sleep on it; just don't rush a fix as may regret a rushed decision.

    You have also forgotten to include the model of your current Facet pump. Also best to mention fuel tank locations, some will not know it a low wing type.

    Rotax done to check oil level in system.

    I drove in for a look last month and was surprised how run down the place looked. In need of a refresh and much history there and did not impress as a visitor to the area.

    Bowden cable outlets from firewall to carbs. Hard plastic tube over finger pull area. Rivet heads as through panel guides. Works well, no issues last 5 1/2 years 330 hours. Cheers. A great KISS method.

    Mark have a look at the Nynja build manual. Choke is just the wire and a loop on the panel that is in a 'U' of plastic tube and rivet head are the guides through the panel. Bowden outer are between firewall and the carby brackets. Works faultless and simple.

    Ask the Glider people they use it. Maddog Composites is one gilder detail repair shop I know of.

    Measure the o.d. well as the fire sleeve can be a tight fit. Also you will see to plug the fuel hose end as you thread it to stop the inner fluff of the fire sleeve getting in the fuel hose.

    Thanks Gary, would have been fun. All had the wide tyres and one had the new 600 kg undercarriage(wheels lean in A little when unloaded). Been servicing a mates v max and he has had a nose wheel widened, will look like these. Going up tomorrow to finish things and put the wings back on. Weather is poor, real crap at the moment with wind and rain.

    I'd expect that after a short period the post is live and reply after that will refer to the posted comment / text. If a person changed things, it could confuse or change the post in a bad way. Therefore, having a moderator do the deletions / changes is has a third person ensuring the content of the post is not lost for its original purpose.

    Just following Rotax service instructions for same period and no problems.

    Skip lube only goes on the ball joints of muffler (100 hrly). Never on header pipe flange to head or the stud nuts that hold the header plates at the attachment to the heads.

    Copper coated steel. Their anti-seize method. (I got my T'shirts for removing stubborn exhaust nuts and their studs in my early years.)
  22. Blueadventures
    Agree Nev, knowing how copper and aluminium react. Meant to say copper colour special nuts for exhaust of aluminium engines. (Bit like the copper coloured clecos used to hold aircraft sheet in place.) Cheers.
  23. Blueadventures
    Copper colour, the ones I got a couple of years ago are copper coloured and have a split part way around to keep tensioned. I got them for my 80Hp UL Rotax. Don't want ones that bind with corrosion to the stud. These copper ones hold on and allow undoing without damaging the stud thread. I carry two in my field kit and one head nut; as seen them crack and be missing.
  24. Blueadventures
    From memory they are a copper vw exhaust nut, and need to get the 12mm spanner size as some are 13mm spanner fit and need the smaller size to fit as some close to header pipe. May be incorrect of the spanner sizes, but you can get two sizes and need the smaller. Cheers

    What critters like the taste of cross check marker paste. I guess cockroach’s. Might have to apply surface spray after. Had it happen once before, only after it’s applied then no more. Just see red dots on floor and you can see where it’s nibbled.
