    Fuel line for Rotax 582

    in Engines and Props

    Posted

    Appreciate any advise on what type of fuel line to use on my Rotax 582. Mike Stratman refers to a "clear blue urethane line" as his preference but I cannot identify what this is called commercially? Also, can I use the same line for the vacuum impulse line to the rear of the fuel pump as it needs to be resistant to internal collapse?

    Hi BillCheck out the RAA members market, there are some very cheap aircraft for sale at the moment including my Kestrel and trailer for 6 1/2 K. The Kestrel and Thruster are very similar aircraft in design, construction and flying characteristics. Mine can be flown with the doors on or off to suit conditions and has the big advantage of the transport/storage trailer. I have been contacted by mainly scammers so I suggest you phone as the aircraft is only down the road at Caboolture.

    Thanks for the response Keefy but looking for a dual seating aircraft.

    Hi All

     

    Currently doing my license in a Drifter and looking to purchase a Thruster as my first aircraft. Very impressed with the amount of enthusiastic support on the Thruster Operators website/Forum. Is there anyone out there who might be able to take me up for a trial flight in a Thruster? Also really keen to look at some of the different models and discuss pros/cons with Owners. I'm considering a Gemini but thinking the more enclosed cockpits of some of the later models seems more comfortable? I live on the Sunshine Coast. Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks Bill

    Hi Everyone - new to flying

    Welcome Bill.There is nothing quiet like flying so please keep us updated with your progress. How did you get interested in it? Has it been a long term aim or a spur decision?

    Thanks for your good wishes. I caught up with an old friend in the Whitsundays recently and he has been flying ultralights for a lot of years. I've done a lot of long distance sailing and found the similarities between that and cross country flying uncanny (airfoil dynamics, navigation, small engine maintenance, safety procedures, voyage planning, et). A little bit of web research later and the bug has bitten!
