    hi this additive is expensive how many jab owners are using ?? i have always used a bit of upper cyl lube no additives seem to have the blessing of the factory but any use seems to be by popular opinion guick search seems to have the blessing of the rotax factory will like tosee some more opinion on it

    hi "The wooden prop is a fair way down on efficiency compared the the composite prop- it bends. the composite prop is a great upgrade." the prop on the J-160 i understand was replaced in recent past so i`m wondering what prop i have fitted ( are no`s easy to read without removing the prop ) i had composite prop on my previous J-120 aircraft (definitely agree on up-grade ) will get a set of no`s next flight (cost of fuel is not making it easy to fly for pleasure at the moment in the bush - $3.60 P/L)

    jabiru fuel cap

    lyle janke replied to BrendAn's topic in Jabiru

    hi yes that is correct . if you want a security measure then replace the wing nut assy with a security torque bolt of same thread then it is impossible to get cap from the filler neck lyle

    hi the J-120 hardly ever seen RPM above 3000 & went everywhere at 2800 rpm i replaced the wooden prop with the Jabiru plastic option the J-160 will go to 3300RPM full power easily so cutting the rpm in cruise to 2900 rpm is where it seems to like it using 20-25 l/phr . using 2800 is slow & 16-18 l/hr approx i have a wooded prop fitted don`t know if it is correct or not so have a few variables to consider & weather is windy so not good for comparing numbers

    hi all i have recently acquired a J-160 on the couple of flights i have had it has used fuel at about 20-25litres /per hr . i compare this to the J-120 i owned previously which was in the 13-15 litre range . i know the airframe is different but when i read on the internet the quote is around 16 litres /hr . i haven`t looked into the internals of the carbie yet to see if jets have been changed or not , how do i determine that jets are worn or what is wrong ? the burn rate seems high based on what i can read it should be your thoughts please lyle

    HI All as there seems to be a group of us who have EQ-1 headsets with no ongoing support apparently . we perhaps should backtrack to find why the sale of business means that the current owner would not be interested in keeping this excellent product supported & selling more of them . it is not as though they were cheap chinese knock-off`s when they were being made & marketed by great people & companies where do we start in the search ???

  14. lyle janke
    hi RF-guy thanks i have already determined that the batteries were AAor AAA but they are hardwired & made into a battery pack i however am not confident in creating another battery pack to solder back to board

    hi yes the J120 is now with a new owner near canberra . i`m currently waiting for the arrival of a J160 i was always wondering if there was any benifits to fitting in place of the jabiru plastic offering which was an improvement on the wooden one .having the pitching better matched to the motor requirements with a C/S type in the various phases of the flight
