    Feedback on FK9. https://aircraft.e-props.fr/index.php?cPath=1_33_192
  2. Kyle Communications
    Carbon Canary..what is the aircraft ?..you may find it on the feedback
  3. Kyle Communications
    All I can tell you is that there have been a few DUC props replaced by the Eprop here and everyone of the guys says the eprop is much better..quieter, more performance, super smooth also the engine starts and stops easier because the prop is so light. I have not had one person return a prop. Eprop give a 6 month return on the prop..If you use it and you dont find its a improvement and a better prop than what you like they will give you your money back....someone who stands behind their product https://aircraft.e-props.fr/satisfied.php Just some small feedback...977 of them https://aircraft.e-props.fr/feedback.php

    I just had a answer back from Eprop on the time for their props..there is no time constraint only the 4000 hours due to the way they are made and the special material they use
  5. Kyle Communications
    Yes I service Australia and NZ
  6. Kyle Communications
    Got no idea..but some of the aircraft get a lot of use
  7. Kyle Communications
    No its not...he tested it to how he wanted to...NOT to how the props are designed to be run His testing was done as if you have a IFA or constant speed. These props are ground ajustable and designed to run a max rpm on a gearbox driven engine If you set them up as per factory instructions you will get a substantial improvement in performance...more than 50 customers I have sent props to with maybe 15 or more different style of aircraft cant all be idiots..they know what performs better than what they had. I have not had one customer that did not get substantial performance increase
  8. Kyle Communications
    What do you mean? what parameters?
  9. Kyle Communications
    They do extensive testing and destructive testing..they have videos on it They would have not got the approvals if it didnt hold up to the hours The paperwork approvals is attached here tcds_easa.p.512_epgu3_030223.pdf

    I have asked Eprop the question and will post when I get the answer back...most likely tonight
  11. Kyle Communications
    Eprop beats the DUC no issues..4000 hr TBO. not sure on years. I dont think it really matters at 4000 hrs

    The smaller pcb track lines are the 1090 mhz for the ADSB..it is on the right side. Ideally you should have it on the windscreen facing forward but it depends of course what direction oncoming traffic is coming. So its much of a muchness. The main thing is to make sure it has clear view of the sky for the GPS signal and no obstructions..metal of course in its way

    Not far now actually 🙂 Work on the S-21 will be started on the wings after easter. A friend of mine is going to start the wings for me. He built a beautiful S20 with metal wings (same as the S21). stunning workmanship on all of the build. That will give me more time and I can concentrate n getting Mabel to the hangar then I can start the tailfeathers and fuselage on "The Mistress" 🙂

    Some may have seen this already. But Mabel now has a fully running heart. The engine hasnt been run for 5 years..well the bottom end anyway. Just new cylinders and pistons fitted. I put oil down the plugs and let it settle for a day or so then turned it over to make sure it was well lubed. Did the air pressure oil purge to make sure I had oil pressure then went for a start. It started so much faster than I expected as I was winding it over the throttle slipped towards full as I have springs on my throttle mod as I am using a McFarlane throttle and it keeps the bowden cable nice and tight. Frightened the crap out of me as it raced towards full power but mangaed to get the throttle back quickly. The mrs was videoing and missed the inital turnover but it literally took 2 sec of winding and started as soon as I flicked the one swith on. The burst of smoke is obviously the oil I put in the cylinders. I have to say the modified Rotax muffler I have on the the engine is really quiet. It is 6.4 litres instead of the std 5.6 litres. Hopefully this gives me a bit more power. Havent done a carb balance yet but the Eprop makes it run incredibly smooth even though it does need a carb balance down the lower rpm. The video is short as it is edited but I ran the engine to 55 degC oil temp before shutting it down
  15. Kyle Communications
    I ran the engine until the oil got to over 55 degC the video was edited Too boring otherwise
  16. Kyle Communications
    Well I did the first start on Mabels engine..it has the fuel pump I showed on it and it worked fine
  17. Kyle Communications
    Vacuum bag it. then no drama
  18. Kyle Communications
    All looked and measured exactly the same Nev
  19. Kyle Communications
    I was put onto them by another guy who is running them. I have fitted these to 2 new engines and they fit perfectly..hopefully after this weekend I can tell you if at least one of them works when I start the engine on this rebuilt big bore kit engine
  20. Kyle Communications
    yes
  21. Kyle Communications
    I replaced mine with these..same pump just rotate the housing 180 deg...made by the same mob. landed 2 here for $170 inc the freight. The only difference is no brass drain just a drain hole https://spareto.com/products/pierburg-fuel-pump/7-02242-32-0

    Hi Bob Just hammertone paint. I do like that finish. The Girlfriend I actually had the later dash Hammertone powder coated..that was really good. I have to say the choke mod is so much better than the ICP thing...Think I will do the same on the RANS when I finally start it. Was hoping to start the engine tomorrow but got sidetracked yeasterday..was layed up in bed most of the day after some wierd reaction to Typhoid/HepA injection I needed to have before going to Thailand next month for a mates wedding and still felt crap this morning. Sort of came good this arvo and the boss had me doing dog fencing here 😞. So later next week or on the weekend I hope to get it started. It hasnt been running for more than 5 years but of course has new cyclinders and pistons with the big bore. It should be fine Mark
  23. Kyle Communications
    All done and installed for the choke. Very happy how it operates
  24. Kyle Communications
