    If you reread my reply it happened on a new engine <14 hours.

    What is the link to polishing. If I had the issue confirmed I will replace the seats. Wal does the change out; Rotax say replace the carb body, expensive. I’ll buy replacement seats and pull old and insert new.

    Can get leakage at the float valve seat if corrosion is present. Not seen with naked eye. Wal can replace the seats and first check for corrosion under a microscope. Had it happen a year and half ago to an 14 hour engine that had sat around before first start. Consider phoning and sending to Wal.

    Arrive is read as aerovee.

    He is asking about the engine arrive as well, they are not the most powerful engine IMHO. At least 80 hp Rotax is best. I bent the undercarriage leg twice on my Ca21 with a 912 80hp.

    All builds are ground planes until fist flight🙃😁😉

    What are you doing for a ground plane?

    And when Gen5 is here gen4 will be same. Not good enough they need to offer better support.

    Have the 600kg upgrade kit on the way to be fitted, undercarriage first then do the wings upgrade. Also viewed Barry’s build that is a new 600kg variant.

    Try cut out in cardboard as you need to get hand in and remove oil can cap with your fingers and thumb holding it. Any Sav or Skyfox aircraft locally will have a hatch. My old skyfox had the camloc with the ears on it so did not need a tool to unlock and lock. Cheers

    An 0.3mm hole is also a gas jet size. When held between both thumbs and their next finger and hold up to the sun light you will see through it. I also have a few drill bits of that size for maintenance cleaning. The Oxy welding tip cleaner wire files are to big.

    They included serial number in the invoice details; hopefully the same details. Very helpful. Said they have 600 in stock; I said only wanted one. Same day despatch and phoned after 1pm and ordered online. Cheers.

    Have a SkyEcho2 in the post and emailed CASA for the Hex code; bit of fun getting email away (selecting the topic area - not the easiest for me to find).

    There are some tricky liquids out there. We’re doing work with a ship and engine room has about 7 meters of water in it and when divers have plugged the source they will commence pumping out and a team will be there to apply a liquid to preserve the engine and all electrics etc. They say you can run an angle grinder and place into the liquid and it will remain running. Will be expensive stuff. Not applicable to this recovery as already out of water.

    Need GPS, I link my mini Ipad to phone wifi to get traffic, rain etc. Just to save extra data charge (save 150 to 180 per year, better in my pocket) Works good. I did have a $150 data sim first up but did not last 12 months; about 8 months.

    Maybe carry some aviation snips (great for cutting lexan) or a saw blade and handle and start cutting from air vent or a cracked section. Would be the quickest way to make a hole shape that you want.

    Agree portable is handy. Made mine a few years back when the pressure one I made wasn't up to scratch. Still need to make a vertical holder for the switch and suits the 20 litre plastic 'Jerry' type containers as the pickup is vertical and straight. Also runs off the aircraft battery but use the wheeled battery as it's a spare emergency start battery if me or someone needs a jump start.

    Some images of my setup.

    Best to be ready and standdown; than be needed and experience delays in responding.
  23. Blueadventures
    Kingaroy has similar.

    Drone power plants only need short life.
  25. Blueadventures
