    Thought maybe be able to pressure the system through the barb under the cap , it should pass through the valve in the cap and then hold pressure , does this make sense

    I believe the heads are sealed and can’t leak and there are no head gaskets , but l will look into it,

    Having dramas with disappearing coolant from my 914 , changed every hose replaced the clamps with the spring type , then don a 14 hr trip , all good , flew up to tilpa from echuca, about 2.5 hrs , bottle empty, filled it up , came home this morning, 3.5 hrs , headwinds, bottle empty, driving me nuts, is there a chance it’s leaking past the water pump seal, not a easy fix, read somewhere it can leak in the cold weather, can’t see any visible signs, anyone come across this?

    Thanks for your replies, that was the one , I thought it was a good idea to, take all the weight off the controls

    Rotax 912

    rhtrudder replied to Rodr's topic in Savannah

    How much does a fuel injected 914 cost?

    Where does this leave farmers mustering cattle on their own farm using raa certificate and rego aircraft, I know of a lot that do just that, also claiming some tax benefits on running costs and depreciation, sounds like it maybe all illegal

    Rotax 912

    rhtrudder replied to Rodr's topic in Savannah

    Talking to a bloke at echuca fly in for roast day last month , he built a really great sling 4 seater powered by a 914 but at 110 cruise it burnt 28 litres two up, I know it is a lot more plane than my Sabre which uses about 18 at around 120, I reckon it was maybe underpowered.

    Never got off the ground , all the starters piked one by one , really need some escorts on these sort of trips just to keep a look out for each other, I’m always keen to fly anywhere so let me know if your happy to have another flyer to be apart of the sortie

    Thanks Alf , I’ll pass it on .

    Unsure , but I will find out , plane is a Europa, the one with the mono wheel and two wing stalks, gets along pretty good , thought the problem might have been a throttle cable hanging up but thinking about it the cables are pulling the butterflies closed when throttling back

    You might be on to something, sort of sounds like fuel, thanks

    have a mate with a 80 Rotax , at cruise , 5200, when he backs off the throttle a couple of hundred revs there is a slight miss but then settles down , does every time , l thought it was to high in the rev range to be carby balance, any ideas,
  16. rhtrudder
    Thanks for that

    It does have a cap fitted and I did wonder if it was the culprit, doesn’t seemed to have lost any voltage after two days so maybe okay
  18. rhtrudder
    Have multimeter, rough idea how to drive it , thanks for the reply
  19. rhtrudder
    just fitted a new battery in my plane , 914, and noticed after fitting the positive that when I touched the negative it produced a small spark , everything turned off, where would I be loosing current.

    Bought one from a bloke a couple of months ago , fitted straight on my 914 running a Kašpar prop, definitely notice the difference, ring bob on 0429 639770, very helpfull

    Thinking of heading north for a few days in June , best flying weather , leaving northern vic ending up at Birdsville and back home via lake eyre and anywhere in between, if interested let me know .
  23. rhtrudder
    I know of a real good savannah for sale , definitely worth a look
  24. rhtrudder
    My Sabre has just clocked over 1500 hrs , can’t fault it, MTOW is now 544,
  25. rhtrudder
