    The port size is 22mm, not as small as you are probably imagining
  2. danny_galaga
    It's much the same size in the similarly performing zenith and savannah 701. What's your theory then, since the radiators are roughly the same price? Seems to me a slow aircraft could do with a larger radiator. Maybe you ought to write to the bush plane manufacturers and tell them they've been doing it all wrong 😇
  3. danny_galaga
    I reckon maybe that one is for general low wing plane use, and slow draggy planes like mine are best off with something a bit different

    Damn, that's clever work 😎

    Interesting news concerning the airline and possible culture/lack of training issues https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/air-india-pilots-suspension-boeing-777-stall-warning-b2780259.html

    Nice work rotating the motor. I've built it's brother the Spitfire, so I know it has hardwood engine bearers. I presume you left those out and fitted a radial mount to the firewall?

    Look what I just won at the clubs annual dinner raffle ☺️ This kit is for carrier class. If you fly it in that class, it's 3 line control for throttle. Incidentally, I've found the quickest and easiest way to keep my photos upright here is to just screenshot it 😁

    Impressive, but the video to these old eyes is mostly looking at some lovely clouds and lots of humming ☺️

    I didn't randomly choose that radiator.. people much smarter than me, aeronautical engineers, chose that part number. Now I look at it, it seems bigger than the standard Rotax jobby. Considering that it's a low n slow plane from a hot country, and the particular location of the radiator, I'm guessing they crunched some numbers on a variety of options and this one did the job for a reasonable price 😇

    Right now I have to put tape on it to keep the temperature up. So I guess it's not too bad at its job 😇
  11. danny_galaga
    In the case of my Setrab, it can be used for either. No confusion from me 😇
  12. danny_galaga
    Thats good news. That price seems quite reasonable, similar in price to Setrab. Mayb Rotax radiators are made by Setrab 😄 Ha. Setrab cost MORE! Mind you, i think its a bigger radiator. This is what goes in the Bushcat: https://www.efisolutions.com.au/setrab-proline-std-oil-fluid-cooler-series-9-405mm~143016?srsltid=AfmBOoqZPRFVrt9dpFfaFCFrdlBTnnYo5pnc6ENs5a8rG0fEtEJMOTWS

    For what it's worth, my Bushcat uses Setrab coolers, from Europe. I think you could probably get them from performance car shops. As far as I'm aware, there has been no issues in any Bushcat. They aren't dirt cheap, but $90 sounds TOO cheap for an aircraft. Not sure of specific prices but I bet Setrab are cheaper than something with a Rotax sticker on it 😁

    Gas turbines are also used in electricity generation.

    What ol' yam tits doesn't grasp is that corporations don't care. If it's beneficial to them, they'll develop it and sell it overseas. It doesn't HAVE to be bought by Americans...

    Why does this truck remind me of Moon Patrol?

    Seems they might be getting with the program again https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/new-electric-car-battery-breakthrough-and-its-not-from-china-american-carmaker-gm-forging

    Is this ever going to end? CURSE YOU SKIPPY!!!1! VID_20250628_100415.mp4

    All done. Flew at Redcliffe. Now test flying my own plane 🙂
  20. danny_galaga
    I think that's what I just bought for my plane actually. I'd much rather my lovely two blade wooden prop, but the pitch is too fine. So instead I'll have an ugly 3 blade carbon fibre prop
  21. danny_galaga
    Yes, must be the same plane. This was at Boonah for the Dave Briffa breakfast memorial
  22. danny_galaga
    It's something I've never seen before, but maybe it works a bit like a wing tip winglet. This plane flew in, so clearly it doesn't NOT work ☺️
  23. danny_galaga
    But the traditional way is just chuck it, in disgust into a drawer somewhere, covered in dirt and crap and still attached to the remains of the engine mounts. And then 20 years later realising that wasn't such a great way to store it after all 😁
  24. danny_galaga
    Yes, I do know that. Hence I was just joking about it. You see, calling it a built in prop strike negates it being a prop strike and thus.... nevermind. The moments passed.
  25. danny_galaga
    How about 'built in prop strike' 😄
