2nd piston ring always stuck- what's the story ?
Blueadventures replied to RFguy's topic in Engines and Props
What was the aircraft rego? VH-BBQ🙃 -

Agree, I find the rudder certering needs only about 3mm adjustment to get right once in the target area. 10mm out or more and need heavy rudder foot pressure. Been thinking of a mini screw jack type adjuster for attaching the front bungee connection so I can do fine adjustments. With recent delivery flight of a Nynja need slight left foot pressure and aileron trim was not good enough to sort it to a happy place.
-
Agree, the Nynja and the skyranger models have an internal rudder centering bungee that you adjust for feel in flight. Ground adjustable only.

Nice Mark; however I'm not a fan of teflon tape in fuel systems, use Loctite 577 or 567. Looking forward to seeing first flight, must be close now.
-
I put my restricter into a 3/16” brass tail so as not to ever mix up 1/4” fuel line connections to carbs that form part of the 4 way junction. Then 3/16” I’d hose to fuel tank.

I'd be asking on the Sonex forum as many experienced persons there; as well.

Are you labelling? One method is write label on strip of paper with fine pencil (biro ink fades) and use clear heat shrink to attach to wire. I kept a sheet of paper, scissors and a very sharp pencil handy and wrote labels for wires, sometimes at both ends to enable later tracing.

35 is likely 0.35mm orifice.

Maybe ask RFguy if he can have a look at the microair, should be fixable and then when his new radio is available buy one (scans 3 air channels and a uhf) as they sound very practical.

Direct from phone. Not turbulence🙃

Nice 2.6 hour delivery flight for new owner Ben. IMG_5562.MOV

Spirit of Kittyhawk is due to be flown to it new home at Palmyra YPYA for its new owner tomorrow 8 January 2023.

only the medical requirement is the primary reason to get 760kg RAA otherwise would build in SAAA. If CASA alter medical requirements for certain VH flying then RAA would not really need 760 to be available.

Atherton is 13 miles from Mareeba. I am not near there. Tell your son to visit both airfields.
-
Atherton airfield is very close only a few k's there are lots of good aircraft there and if he makes himself known he'll be able to arrange some flights.

Total of 6 pads (3 side by side in car park area). My image is from Queensland Globe a free viewing sat images.

Agree, and perhaps blind spots will be a contributing factor, bit like when aircraft on late final collide due to the faster above coming down on the slower lower one.

Who's wrong? ERSA or Google Maps?

We move North about 70mm each year; no wonder its getting hotter were moving towards the equator 🙂 -

Don't use brake cleaner on anything you are going to apply oxy flame heat to; the white smoke it will knock you down or worse. -
membership and bfr and discuss with instructor about time away I think.
-
Thanks just confirming detail. Pump seal and diaphragm should be good then.
-
Be helpful to know the engine history; year built, TTIS, hours since last run if not new etc Cheers.
-
Then on a later post he added there is up to 5ml oil from fuel pump drain collector bottle.
-
That sounds like a leak. There is a lip seal on the plunger for engine oil side and the diaphragm if failing will allow fuel to exit the drain. Need to really look if engine oil or fuel mixture or both. May need replacing of fuel pump, not real dear. May be reason for low fuel pressure. Worth a check on Rotax owner if you're a current member. (I'm not at the moment)
