Seeing as the more knowledgeable are not responding I will give parts of your Q a go: Sounds like a no brainer but do not attempt to start with a weak battery. You will do damage to your starting sys
I am a big fan of Gates Automotive Hoses they have a staggering range and all products have detailed specifications that you can down load. I would not use a non-fuel rated hose in a fuel contact app
Its sounds obvious but contaminated fuel filters can only come from two sources: 1. The fuel being put into the aircraft tank (Fuelling/External) 2. (Internal) The aircrafts own fuel storage (tanks)
Nice work KJ. I am surprised that the NACA vents do not deliver copious quantities of fresh air I live in Australia (very hot) and have always found them to be very effective when made to correct dim
For the last 12 years (920 hrs)I have used Hengst fuel filters Hengst H102 WK Hengst H103 WK Benefits: Gauze filter medium Almost indestructible, completely leak proof, casing Clear casing for inspec
Hi Duncan, First rule of effective venting is: Location, location, location -- Then comes design, as in shape & proportions NACA vents must be correctly proportioned to work effectively, not just loo
I am looking for a flying Europa to purchase, so have little Europa specific information to give you however my current aircraft, an ATEC Zephyr, has NACA vents, on each side of the cockpit, just aft
Very comprehensive article Bud - covered the topic very well. Seems KJ might have his, very nicely finished, NACA vents to low down on the fuselage. -- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.m
Bud: I may have missed it but did you address wind noise ? I have always been concerned about "things" that project into high speed air. Paul: Yes please, on the offer of photos. -- 46 Read this topi
Hi Bus, Thank you for your "noise" response - very much as I expected. I have both ANR /passive headsets, however following the KISS principals, I prefer the passive. Where practical will try for coc
Hi Chris, I assume your engine is a Rorax 91 If your quoted take-off RPM 5300 is correct, be advised that Rotax recommend static RPM to be no less than 5200. This should easily give you over 5500 + R
My ATEC Zephyr/912 ULS, 2 blade ground adjustable Fiti prop, with static 5200 rpm, goes to well over 5500 within its 100 m ground role and is doing its rated 5700-5800 on climb out @70 knots / 1500+
Hi Peter, Which part of SL - 912 - 016R1 do you feel I should take note of ? 3.1.2 Performance Recommendations - seems to support my (above reported) setting. As does 3.1.3 Fixed Pitch and Ground Adj
Chris -I have been thinking on this 5300 rpm Static and your claimed 5300 rpm on Climb out. With a fixed pitch propeller and constant throttle: If the engine is properly tuned (carburettor balance) a
Chris, My experience of this class of aircraft is limited to 12 years and some 900 hrs in the one LSA, an ATEC Zephyr /Rotax 912 ULS. From this I would say that 5200 to 5400 is a significant increase
Hi Roger, I would be interested to know what you think may be the benefits in replacing the factory Rotax Ducati modules, with the after market Ignitech modules. -- 46 Read this topic online here: ht
Richard: Thanks for that - I did Google them, so was able to get most of what you have told me - what I am really interested in, is how they perform compared to the original Ducati module's. Price is
Wow! As I understand it you are saying that the Ignitech modules are the equivalent of the Rotax (Ducati) "Soft Start" modules at a fraction of the price. I would be interested: To hear from as many
