    https://www.dividenddates.com.au/hvn-dividend-history/ You guys are like dogs seeing squirrels, seriously! Pretend I didn't say Gerry Harvey. Who is a CEO you admire? Pretend that person once said: If you think you are worth more, buy shares in the company you represent.
  3. danny_galaga
    Me either. My point still stands. If you think you're worth a lot, buy shares in the company you represent.
  4. danny_galaga
    Maybe that is a discussion for a different thread...

    Gerry Harvey used to say no one is worth more than 500k a year (a while ago, so say 2 million now). He said if you think you are worth more, buy shares in the company.

    Sounds familiar 🤔 Make it 8 engines and you've got a deal!
  7. danny_galaga
    Or build a six engined plane...

    im confused now, did you want an oil cooler or a water radiator?
  9. danny_galaga
    Yeah, it doesn't matter how legit looking the site is, if the price less than half normal price you know something's fishy 🐟

    Couldn't find one in Australia for prices but here is a us dealer. No idea about this company but it lists the specs https://www.improvedracing.com/setrab-25-row-series-9-oil-cooler.html

    Just in case you need another and this one is the right size, this is for the Bushcat

    Oh, I was thinking you meant the wires go into the plug in different spots! Looking pretty good, just check it's for the same amperage alternator I guess. Looks like a few of us are having luck tracking down the exact same peripheral part that the engine maker uses. Same quality cos it's the same part, but at automotive prices instead of aircraft prices 🙂

    So it seems to me, and you can verify it against where the wires go from there that you have blue wires are rectifier, black and red are positive and negative and yellow and green, one will probably be warning light and maybe the other is ignition. But what would be interesting is to see that same angle on the regulator you are interested in. If the wire colours go in the same place that those do, it's almost 100 per cent going to be the same. If they don't, that doesn't mean all is lost, but would need further investigation.

    I guess the other thing to look at is if you can get another pic from the wire side. If all the different coloured wires all come out at the same spots then it's likely Jabiru just changed where they go on the plug. The two light blue wires look bigger. That is probably the rectifier
  15. danny_galaga
    If it's a regulator/rectifier then you may be able to test which wires are the diodes to narrow it down. Some multimeters have a diode tester

    It goes without saying...

    Definitely just go to an auto sparky with it. I've been out of the loop for a while but that is either a Denso or Hitachi automotive alternator. A good sized workshop will have some junk ones (always good to keep for bits and pieces like those bolts and various insulators). They'll sort you out with exactly the same parts.

    This is called an 'argument by selected instance'. Maybe Unilever had this one problem (do you have a source) but in general they seem to be doing exceptionally well with all their automated processes. Also, one could say that shouldn't all that automation bring the cost down of a Rotax? But better to ask what it would have cost without automation? I suspect substantially more.

    I would hope for safeties sake that when it's written off by the assessor, that it is immediately destroyed.

    Pretty sure it's only value now would be for scrap. Imagine how much time and effort it would take to fix this rather common plane. Insurance certainly wouldn't wear it...

    Great airmanship. I hope I can do as well if the time comes. And congratulations on channel for not calling it a crash landing.
  22. danny_galaga
    It will have what I want it to have- negative straight from the battery to the starter (least amount of resistance you can have for the highest current) and a negative lead from the battery to the negative bus bar on my instrument panel 🙂
  23. danny_galaga
    On the Rotax, they use a motorbike starter. The consequence being there are two superfluous lugs hanging off the back of the starter. Negative is going straight from the battery to one of those lugs 🙂

    What's the point? How long did that magneto go for? Like I say, I'll try not to put him.down in the sea 😄
  25. danny_galaga
    I'm not sure what you are driving at. Should we not have cables at all? I believe the Rotax is almost impossible to hand start 😄
