    That's why I liked DOWN for ON. It's pretty hard to accidentally knock an ignition switch UP by accident. I didn't even worry about guards. Now imma hafta put on those hokey looking missile switch cover things. Actually I'll probably 3D print something less bogan 😄

    It's weighed on me a bit, but in the same vein as everyone being on the same page regarding the switches, I think it best if everyone is on the same page regarding speed. I have correct mph placard on the panel, and also have knots placard to replace it down the track. Navigating should be a little more straightforward too I would imagine.

    Ok, up it is! I've also decided to replace my mph ASI with knts. Long story...

    Now I ask this because I have installed the switches in my plane as down= ON. This works well for me, but may be confusing if someone else flies it 🤔 At worst I can turn them around, just need to relabel where it says ON.

    I imagine near the equator they use push buttons 😃

    I just boiled the kettle..I can't remember having to flip the switch UP when staying in Holland 😄

    In everyday experience you flip switches down for ON. But in aircraft (and vintage cars now I look at it) up is ON? Why? To me it feels backwards and any time I have to flip a switch in an aircraft I have to think twice.

    Or 8 X @onetrack 😃

    Sorry, I thought they discussion had drifted to whether the old genuine Rotax starter was interchangeable with the new more powerful genuine Rotax starter 🙂 In regards aftermarket, there seems to be no word from our guy in the UK and his non genuine starter.
  13. danny_galaga
    Point is, Rotax say it's swap new for old. As long as there is room around the starter (as in firewall shape, distance other objects etc) then you are good to go. No need to overthink that aspect.

    But it never closed properly,surely that would be picked when doing compression leak tests, or even trying to tune it?

    Ah I see. He did what I was saying I would do in another thread.

    Did he get bored of filming?

    I suspect I'm more of a gamer than you, borked is a pretty common expression in that world. But let's not get hung up on a word. It was just the first word that came to mind when I watched the video https://www.dictionary.com/browse/bork

    I can't speak to the holder of the video recorder, but if I was holding in, a couple of seconds later it would be lying on the ground with maybe footage of my feet as I legged it to help. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/first-solo-ends-with-stall-spin-at-45-feet/

    A lot of 912s, including mine have a water jacket around the throat. Initially I was still in 'carb heat ' mind set thinking that's a waste of power because it's always on. But there is virtually no difference in power because all it is doing is keeping the throat surface warm, preventing icing. Great idea, after all that's the bit you don't want iced up, not the air/fuel mix. Note, there is also an electrical version.

    It's funny you liked that because I was placing you in that group 😄

    What sort of rego was it under? I don't suppose we'd see ANY kind of report if this happened in Australia...

    If you're referring to the Stuart Highway, that became limited 130 km/h a while ago.
