    Unless it is one of the Countries that want our stuff who decide to block the oil and then just take what they want.

    It appears that you are as concerned about cost rather than safety, have you considered buying a Jabiru motor.

    Bruce I would love to have a read of your sheet of instructions on how to keep it cool. I am aware it was just a comment but have you actually considered writing it.

    Lyndon In the case of a 912 wired in accordance with the Xair wiring cct and from my reading of the diagram it would be the same with it wired to the Rotax circuit if the master is turned of the engine will continue to run. I tested that this was the case after rewiring my plane in accordance with the diagram and have proven it in flight with a Foxbat. The master switch is designed to isolate the battery and all aux circuits. To stop a Rotax 912 you either remove the earth from or supply the earth to the electronic modules I can't remember which way it is. The ignition switches actually switch the earth. I can't remebr where the supply for the modules comes from but is certainly not direct from the battery.

    Not if they both go through the master switch, and if they don't then you do not have a master switch.

    Here is one of those aux fuel pumps that don't fail

    Good luck with that belief. Just had a quick look at the wiring diagram in the Rotax installation Manual and the X-Air Hanuman Manual. Both Diagrams have the Master switch Isolating the positive side of the Battery so you are correct turning off the master switch does leave the battery alive. If installed correctly however it should not be connected to anything except the positive side of the Master Switch and as such is not capable of running anything. I certainly wouldn't want to run my aux fuel pump from the electronic module circuit.

    ditto

    If the backup pump is the problem what then? And I would need to go to the circuits to check but if you turn off the master then the charge circuit may not continue to work. A master switch by its very nature is designed to kill all electrical power so there is not much point having a master switch which still allows things to run. In my situation it was the auxiliary fuel pump that caused the fire, what them?

    From experience, if the cabin fills with smoke from an electrical fire and you hit the master switch to try and stop the smoke you might wish for a mechanical pump to keep the fan going.

    BB how did the Hangar search go? I went past the the one we talked about the next day and it looked the goods.

    It is not a hate campaign, I spend many hours out queuing in trucks, and on the road etc. Most of my free internet time is when I am held up on the road. I don't have the luxury of sitting in front of a desktop and when I do it is normally for office work. We had a wonderful easily accessible resource that I spent many hours browsing. The new resource is in my situation almost unusable. Someone mentioned the resource and I gave an opinion. There are two things that have become next to useless to me since I joined. Doesn't mean that I have a downer on RAA just means that I am unhappy about those things and as such will voice my opinion. As you say on the desktop the advertiser site whilst not brilliant is acceptable, on a tablet/ipad it is useless.

    Try using it from a tablet

    That would depend on whether the online version is user friendly. This one certainly is not.

    You two guys should get a room.

    When it comes to rumour and innuendo I think I shall wait until I see what I see rather than what I hear.
  17. Geoff13
    Thank you. I thought it would be structural but was not certain.
  18. Geoff13
    So a question, what limits maximum safe flap speed?
  19. Geoff13
    I would have thought that apart from midair incidents, 100% of accidents happen below 500'.
  20. Geoff13
    Yes you can. https://www.service.transport.qld.gov.au/checkrego/application/TermAndConditions.xhtml?windowId=9a7

    Who me? Now why would I do that?

    Current Dec 2012. There has not been a public current register since I joined nearly 2 years ago.

    Which could be translated to means that the funding is working extremely well keeping the deaths down to such a low number.
  24. Geoff13
    Well done mate. Was going to drop in there today but had to make a made dash home. Now I regret not popping over. Onwards and upwards from here.

    Tyres for J120

    Geoff13 replied to vk3awa's topic in Jabiru

    Bit sad when the manufacturer supplies the wrong parts. I would be going back to them first.
