    These guys do a good price. Anyone bought from them before? https://pmaviation.com.au/rotax/

    Facthunter wants to buy a Rotec radial, install a supercharger and then fly to 1945 😀

    My original statement was that V8s supercharge nicely. Nothing you are saying negates that 🙂
  4. danny_galaga
    No lag on a supercharger - that's why they use them for drag racing. Plenty or not, when you are on the road, and you see a Mercedes with a 'Kompressor' badge, it has a nice lil supercharger nestled quite neatly in the confines of the engine bay 🙂
  5. danny_galaga
    Most people assume a supercharger to mean mechanical, usually belt driven. And then a turbo supercharger is just referred to as a turbo. V8s in cars generally have ONE mechanical supercharger. The way the inlets sit inside the V lends itself to that configuration

    I picked something deliberately lairy to make a point 😁 There are plenty of regular cars with mechanical superchargers nicely confined in the engine bay. Look at the Mercedes Kompressor range.

    Youve not looked too closely at a hot rod then. V seems nearly ideal for supercharging

    I must missed something. I prefer the Singa bird when I can 😀

    Seems to me if I just go with the Castrol gear previously mentioned, which available from Repco I should be golden. It also means if I'm travelling and find i need more I can get it from many car parts stores. Heh. If my plane ever gets to the point I can fly it anywhere...

    V8s supercharge quite nicely 🙂

    Repco are showing the concentrate. Forgot to pop in today but will tomorrow
  12. danny_galaga
    Yes, my link is for concentrate. Demineralised water is cheap enough too
  13. danny_galaga
    Cool. So just this stuff https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/coolant/castrol-radicool-coolant-concentrate-1l-3424673/p/A9458861?rgfeed=true&cid=google-shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&region_id=100352&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0bunBhD9ARIsAAZl0E2rb3iqhcG67iPznsxs4IP52dclHIZeSPIwGuGa4TuL_9suGD7CGAwaAu1oEALw_wcB

    Engine is 912 uls. I think 2017.
  15. danny_galaga
    Tuned pipes too 😊
  16. danny_galaga
    From Rotax point of view it's fine- went together easily enough in the factory, what do they care if it's hard for someone else to remove 😄
  17. danny_galaga
    Rotax 912 90° carby tube for choke cable. To get two of those genuine, about $150 Inc freight. Or go to Ali express 🙂 https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004164377398.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.604cf19cHB72xq I'm always mindful of cheap n cheerful. If it's something complicated and bespoke, I'll go genuine. But Rotax don't make the carbies, or the parts hanging off them. So why pay the Ro-tax?

    I have to remain optimistic that my plane will be flying this year, and with it I'll do my navs. With that in mind what are some easy to handle fly ins etc around the place? Flying from Boonah, so SE QLD and Northern NSW I think would be a good start.

    I like that head and cylinder is cast in one piece. Potentially less to go wrong.
  20. danny_galaga
    I have an aviasport tacho and I notice that the gauge face is paper and is slightly lifting. There's a chance it might stop the needle. How is yours? Flush?
  21. danny_galaga
    This is ground up work, not a clone. Looks interesting 😎 Doesn't look like it will be cheaper than a 912, but interesting direct drive alternative for the home builders https://www.kitplanes.com/110-horsepower-taiwan-surprise/
  22. danny_galaga
    So no one is interested in the actual story?

    A reminder about being aware of what your loose items could do https://www.google.com/amp/s/verticalmag.com/news/dropped-ipad-implicated-in-fatal-chinook-helicopter-crash/%3famp

    Was that not a rule back then? In any case, from that article it seems he wouldn't always stick to the rules...
