Flightrite I am running Iridium plugs in a 2200. I fitted them as I was changing to resistor plugs to tackle some interference and decided to use Iridium resistor plugs to counter possible harder starting due to extra resistance They seem to be performing well with easy starts

I use Yuasa Batteries on my microlights and motorcycles, they don't claim wonders but they do what it says on the tin and are realisticly priced, never had a duff one not surprising really given their experience at making the things

Can't find anything about the LAA Jab course, got a Link or other reference mate?, Id be interested in attending.

I believe they are structural stiffeners above the wheel wells fitted after the wings on some early mark 5s rippled in that area under +G and it was later replaced with thicker skins in the area P.S. Spitfire wing types could probably fill a book, there where loads of variants PPS.......Emu do you by any chance deal with aftermarket truck bits?

Brinky, I have similar safety straps on my bungee gear and also they seem completely inadequate...in fact http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/2015/Magazine/Oct/safety_spot.pdf though tbh the strap does seem heavier gauge than the one in the OP

"I've read that Rotax carbs are not clamped to their rubbers so that they are dislodged by wild engine vibrations, automatically cutting off their fuel. " Koreelah, Rotax Carbs fit to their boots exactly the same as a jab carb, if it had no clamp it would get thrown off every start they do get thrown off sometimes, I've had it happen, but that is only because of the very violent shakes they sometimes exhibit with bad starts on a cold unbalanced engine installation with no airbox supporting the intake end of the carb as in Skyrangers etc

Same problem with Hydrogen, the tanks would have to be huge and heavy, not viable for aircraft

Too short

Nobody in here for a while so I'll just give that last thing an ID via Google: Sigma 5 Nice looking thing, but I remain hugely sceptical about so called flying cars. Have a go at this:

I wonder if the 32mm Bing as fitted to very early Jab Engines might do better at altitude? anyone still have the smaller Carby fitted?

Hello vk3, you might get more responses in some of the other sections of the forum Try: instruments-radios-and-electronics all the best, Red

I run Esso super unleade in my jab as its the only Mogas around here with no ethanol in it, its quite inexpensive now......... fat lot of good that is to me I havn't had the jab engine long enough to get a consistant LPH Figure but it's about 13LPH, certainly nowhere near what jab says it is..I run about 2600-2700rpm cruise Oh forgot to say its in a draggy airframe (Easy Raider tail dragger)

Been a long time since I have seen an 80'S RMX, I havnt had a 2 stroke bike since my 89 KX250, the husky 701 I have is too heavy for the woods and the WR250 Yam is just gutless.......mmmmmmmmmm smokers (sorry for thread drift)

P.S. Close to a thousand deaths a day here now, so for those of you still comparing this to ordinary flu, well what can I say. You lot down under have the great advantage of wide open spaces so hopefully you will do much better than the UK stay well all

Covid19 has basicly stopped Private flying in the UK, its not a matter of distancing rather the fact that if you were to have any sort of incident/accident you would be tying up an emergency crew and hospital workers when they are allready working beyond capacity....basicly it would be very selfish to go for a jolly whilst nurses and doctors are dying on the job. It's not actually a law as yet and doesnt seem like it needs to be as every pilot I know is doing the right thing anyway (its a shame as the weather is great now and before the virus we had six months of crap unflyable weather but its hardly a sacrifice when put against what some are going through here in the UK)

About 5 years ago now, I was flying from Plockton in north west Scotland intending to get to Isle of Bute before dark, the weather closed in and with visibility over the water getting poor I decided to make a precautionary landing, by this time light was dim and had rain on the screen, I turned back towards land and selected what looked like the only bit of level field around...it was only as I flared to Land that I could see the grass was a tad long Picture taken the following morning, safe landing but how to get back out? Well the Farmer was very helpfull and after 2 days spent in the Local Pub, he returned to tell me his neighbour had cut me a 200 metre strip so I was able to fly off and continue my journey back to Wales I didnt know at the time, but the rocky hill in the background is an Ancient hill fort believed to be the capital of the ancient kingdom of Dál Riata

Ello Ken, welcome to the group I have a 2.2 gen 2 in an Easy Raider taildragger Microlight, was just getting into the groove with it after 7 years with a 912 powered Skyranger then the world went to shit. Spending the down time researching and planning. Depending on the length of the shutdown I might remove my engine and do give it a going through including replacing flywheel bolts Hoping the future brings better days Stay safe matey

A forum for the Exchange of info and experiences operating the Jab/Camit range of engines. Hope it is of some use

Red has created a new group called Jabiru Engines. Group for Owners/Operators of Jabiru engines

Propellorhead, a good laff Vulcan 607, gripping stuff On a negative note just finished reading Mike Busche's book on engines and whilst it has some good info, it could quite easily be a third or even half the 500 pages he used up repeating himself and telling anecdotes about how great he is at solving stuff. Not worth the money IMHO

It looks a bit like an oil/fuel level window, but I've never seen one that clips on, perhaps from a lawnmover engine or some such...definately not a jab engine part

Eh?, are you saying someone in an aeroplane flying low and near the stall got out and did an oil change? edit sorry about the confusion

It would be a good idea.
