    The Jab uses neither Bendix or slick type but a system basically akin to a motorcycle magneto . Looking at the manual ii think that the sensor for the slick 600 would work with a suitable bracket that put the sensor close to the flywheel magnets, give JP a call. I'm quite surprised that they advertise this unit for only those 2 magneto types with no mention of usage on the Jab or rotax. Some the stuff available from MGL (Blaze and VEGA EMS units) has the same functions for a lot less money and are certainly compatible with the Jab

    I still try, but since the councils stopped cutting back the trees and hedges around the bliddy road signs I keep getting lost

    Oh good grief...Nurse!!!!!

    Sounds close to the position here in the UK, except for the IFR requirement . I.E mode S required for new fit, but can replace existing Mode C with same. ADSB Is bugger all use here as far as ATC goes (Trials are ongoing and I believe a very small number of ATC units actually have recievers on trial) Only Reason I have ADSB out set up is for other aircraft with a suitable reciever to see me, which similarly seems to be the only gain Skippy would see. I use a seperate ADSB reciever, but you could of course just buy a SkyEcho with in/out, though that would not cover the IFR ADSB requirement you have which would need fully certified install....dunno if Skippy flys IFR

    Sorry skippy.you've lost me, by "OUT" I presume you mean ADSB - out or extended squitter as its sometimes called. but if your not transmitting it how are you fairly sure ATC is seeing it, it probably sees your mode S but thats not what is being talked about. Not being critical just confused by your reply P.S. of you dont have Hanger access, then the same thing can be achieved by shielding your GPS Antenna (Tin foil hat styleee)

    Skippy, sorry if I'm missunderstanding but if you are saying you unsure if you have ADSB enabled 1.take plane outside turn on transponder and gps reciever you have fitted. wait a few minutes or untill you get a good fix. 2. wheel plane back inside and close the doors (dont turn anything off) If you have a gps connected and set up with your Trig then after a short time the display will tell you that you have lost ADSB function Though tbh iyou do have it set up already you probably would have seen this message before at some point

    Thanks, So all my comments regarding rotation in this thread are complete bollox., I'll try go back and make notes when I'm at my PC

    Apologies if already aware, but I reckon you might find the website below interesting, it contains a great deal of information on little known aircraft both conceptuel and realised https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/

    Something just struck me..In my musings when I state rotation as CCW or CW im looking at the back of the motor....same for you? I ask as I'm still researching this in the hope of cross referencing the starter

    SIL setting tells recievers the level of integrity which also differentiates between certified and uncertified kit, I'm getting the impression that everyone is talking about just the certified side.

    Read my post again, I said I don't know your regs and didn't say this was allowed, I know hat actually works though. I was an early adopter of ADSB and was involved in the UK testing of uncertified fitments
  12. Red
    I've no idea what the regs are in Australia over here only certified aircraft need to use the kit you mention, but any GPS that has an NMEA output will work. I have used a Garmin 496 In the past but now its fed by a 10 quid chinese usb dongle GPS. Also you don't need an ADSB Antennae the transponder squits it out via the existing transponder antenna
  13. Red
    You simply need to connect any GPS Source that has NMEA out capability to the XPDR, its one wire and a ground As to what capability it gives you...it allows anyone with an ADSB in capability to accurately see your position, height and registration so handy for traffic avoidance. I have it enabled on my Trig and also use a a traffic detection unit that picks up ADSB as well as as Mode C/S and flarm edit, you may be thinking oh well if my traffic detection thingy picks up mode S then the whole ADSB thing gives me nothing extra except registration which is not needed...this is not the case, the traffic units that pick up Mode C/S can only give a very vague position/altitude reading base on stuff like signal strngth or multilateration, whereas ADSB is giving out Data from GPS so accurate height, position and speed

    I wouldnt say its irrelevant, I'm sure anyone who knows what an AMP/Hour also knows you simply times it by the Voltage to get a watt/hour, and both these numbers will be on the battery
  15. Red
    Yes Most who buy it wont even know what an Ampere is so more zeros just looks impressive but more concerning is no matter which units they choose it probably doesnt have the capacity its advertised to have anyway, most of them are lying some of them to a huge degree coljones True, but when you get as high as 30,000mah I think you've crossed the point where you should be using ah

    Yea should have added ...use a light penetrating lube whilst attempting this

    Is it a hollow roll pin ? If so you can try a drill bit just slightly oversize to the pins ID and see if it grabs and rotates the pin, then lightly pull as it rotates

    The needle Jabiru use on some iterations is indeed the only part that isnt a standard motorcycle bit everything else is identical to to the motorcycle equivalent
  21. Red
    If you buy the genuine Bing stuff from somewhere like Motorworks or MotoBins then its the same parts as you would get from Rotax. Bing dont make dont make special parts just for Rotax I've used Diaphraghms, jets etc from them

    Oh small world, I havnt been for a couple years now, but have fond memories of taking part in the record breaking mass take off in 2015. Were you there then?
  23. Red
    No such thing as an RPL as such in the UK, I think our NPPL is basically equivalent, but AFAIK that can't be used in any of the countries you list (You can fly an N registered aircraft in the UK on an NPPL), we do have some agreements with european countries to allow use of an NPPL We also have a LAPL over her, but that also is only valid in europe not the countries you list.

    SS, is there anyone offering training in a eurostar near you?, was thinking if you could do a good few hours in a Eurostar that was heavily loaded and do lots of flapless landing in that condition it could get you some ways to handling the Hummelbird (I'm assuming from your profile pic that its a nosewheel version?) Closest I can think of.
  25. Red
    I know someone in what seems exactly your position, he has built a HummelBird..doesnt yet have a Licence and there isnt really anything remotely similar with 2 seats and dual controls to get experience on, he has been on the journey to get to fly it for years. A Hummelbird is maybe not a great choice for a novice to get themselves into flying im afraid
