    I use it all the time, great app and very accurate

    Sit a can of coke down then score around with an Olfa knife, or just use snips and a half round file, all these round tools are over rated and give no satisfaction....

    I think your right there poteroo and we haven't seen the depths of the disaster unfolding at the present time. Definitely not happy days on the way

    Sadly the editor and supplier of the magazine was killed in an accident, I guess a replacement is proving difficult to find.

    You are so right there Paul. Lots of posts now into this thread but I'm still no closer to getting any answer to my questions. I would really like to know if the Gen 4 is a direct swap for my Gen 2, will my cowling fit over the cooling ducts as fitted to the Gen 4?

    Has anyone replaced their old Jab with the new Gen 4? Did it just fit right in with the old cooling ducts or are new ones required, is it really a direct swap? Are you happy with the performance, is there a noticeable difference in the operation? Thanks...

    "The Jab lacks the controlled airflow around the cylinder fins that most other similar aero engines almost universally use (Baffles and ducting shields). They are not hard to fit and don't run it for long with the cowl off." I spent ages and constructed a full plenum setup similar to Lycoming, only to find it ran way hotter than the fibreglass ducts. A lot of tinkering later I went back to the originals...

    I just taped some cardboard on the bottom of my cowl when testing the lip, easy to do....

    Those temps are really very good at max climb out on a warm day. Temps can be pretty subjective, measuring device accuracy, location of probe etc. An air cooled engine like a jab should be around 150 at least for optimal operation(in my view) as they are designed for that. I'm happy with my 3300, CHT's at cruise are around the 150, obviously hotter in a climb. The big benefit of individual cyl probes is being able to monitor temps over time and being able to recognise a problem as it develops. IE lower temp, not making power, or running hotter maybe leaning out with valve or intake problems.

    Pilot shortage? Is there any pilot jobs available anywhere thats not with the airlines? I just don't see the traditional small charter operators any more. Where would a new CPL with low hrs even get a job flying a small twin etc....

    Unless you already have ADF or VOR installed, for a new build a TSO GNSS is really the only option. The old systems are on borrowed time. You might strike it lucky and get a good 2nd hand one for a discount. Even the 430 is considered old school now, but suitable for NVFR.

    Some scumbags put up a false go fund me for the funeral.....beggars belief with no respect for the family.

    NVFR rules virtually same as IFR.....still need very expensive GPS lights etc.

    Ah thats a bugger. I can see a trip with a trailer in my future....

    Hi , can anyone recommend a supplier for 6061 aluminium sheet and stock anywhere near Brisbane? Thanks

    I have a 2 blade that has a cartridge in the center, no way to put a hole through it
  19. dlegg
    OK, so I need a hub with a hole in the centre. Will see what I can come up with...

    How does a person go about static balancing a ground adjustable prop?

    If I were to build two identical planes and register 1 RAA 19-xxxx and the other VH- experimental, which plane would have a better resale value?

    A super sport SSB VB16CL-B battery from the local bike shop will fit right in, and has more CCA than the odyssey, and less than half price too.
  23. dlegg
    If you change a 152 to RAA rego, it will have to go to 19 rego, then can't be used for training anyway, right?
  24. dlegg
    So what is the batt if I may ask?

    The hingeless design is for the ailerons, not the flaps. Most have moved to hinges as ailerons now have to be balanced. But the hingeless design does work and has been tested for thousands of cycles.
