  1. Where was your CO detector made?
  2. UK CAA recently made Fitment of a CO alarm/monitor mandatory, I've always fitted one . I sometimes get a 10ppm Indication, I have it located where I can easily see the display. Those old school black dot stick on things were always a complete waste of money
  3. 275 ton Lithium battery, hmm I'm not sure how long this needs to be in service to offset the very un-green process of making those batteries to make the whole a greener enterprise compared to fossil fuels. Also the factor of a battery weighing just as much when depleted as when fully charged becomes quite a large negative aspect at this scale Maybe someone here has the time to go through the calculation of work done V environmental impact, its quite complicated
  4. Just how many airworthiness classes are there in Australia? Reads like a right mess
  5. Its a known Jabiru thing, you've got the wrong engine
  6. Yea I been noticing that a lot lately, all I see is a placeholder/link saying " " if I click on it I still dont see any image or text A facebook thing perhaps?, I never see anything posted from that type site (dont want to tbh)
  7. Indeed your comment wasn't generalised it was directed at specific engines, well done on not admitting you were mistaken and handing out some general info as if it legitimises your specific criticism. You do this often.
  8. I haven't heard of an issue with studs breaking on 9 series engines, where did you read that?
  9. Red

    Folland Gnat

    Second pic shows Hawks (the Gnat's succesor)
  10. Facebook, can't see it. Does he post elsewhere?
  11. Detail is important ..Quote " no component cost to the customer." Removal of engine, complete strip of engine and rebuild with new crank plus any transport costs involved in shipping parts/engines aint gonna be cheap.
  12. Take off Run 200m?, riiiight🤣
  13. Lycoming I-0-540 No idea why that first spec says M14-P as they are 9 cylinder Radial engines and one look at the picture tells you they aint radials on that bird .
  14. Yea and the ride is cr@p, really harsh and you lose grip as the tyre doesnt deform and comply to the surface. You can also get Mousse foam inserts for off road motorcycles, Ive used them and again the ride and grip is reduced, plus they are bu99ers to fit and eventually break down. There is nothing to compete with gas filled tyres on any vehicle, just that the risk of punctures is always there Aviation wise, id still say there is nothing that provides the same shock absorption as a gas fill and as you say, weight can't be bettered
  15. Groundspeed or airspeed?, had a bit of a tailwind there😁 Nah seriously thats silly fast, I dont know how you keep track of which way its pointing
