Hi Paul=2C Have you ever considered a mod which allows you to vary the cooling ? I am working on one whereby the main inlet is a large scoop further back=2C whic h I can vary from a small slit to wid
Ron=2C John Hurst told me that his cruising altitude on his way to Seattle in the 914 motorglider was 17500=2C to stay below 18 for VFR. I wonder if he used oxygen. Karl Date: Fri=2C 23 Jan 2009 10:4
I simply re-enforced the plastic by inserting aluminum tubes=2C I think the diameter should be 1 7/8 th inch. No need for redux=2C just some heat to get them in. Karl Thanks to all for the ideas re d
Carl=2C The blades won't move a millimeter unless current is fed to the motor=2C ei ther via a manual switch or by a software switch. Reverse is a crazy option =2C unless the aircraft is an amphibian
Hi Josok=2C I am not so sure about what you are saying. When I had early problems=2C I applied a 9V voltage to it directly=2C and the blades stopped at minimum an d maximum pitch automatically. I wou
Josok=2C This is a most fascinating thread and I wish it had never happened. What I would lke to ask you is : How much of this is theory and how much is fact ? Was the hub recovered intact or did it
What is a 432 ? We haven't firmed that up yet Fred. I believe the Sensenich blades are really designed for the new 432 and much final testing needs to be done. Other blades are being tested which app
Ron=2C If that is so=2C would you agree that a feathering option just for such an emergency would be a good idea ? I understand that the gliding distance is greatly increased. Karl All this talk abou
Josok=2C It may be that not all Woodcomps meet the same safety specs and quality con trol. Yours didn't have end switches. Is it not possible to confirm this fr om the wreck ? Dave Miller had endless
I just had another look at the selection of Woodcomp motors I have in my bo x of 'useless' items. Two are still in their original packaging. They are very small and were sen t in error. I have no ide
Frans=2C I was not trying to imply anything about the voltage=2C just passing on som e information. I have seven Woodcomp motors=2C all are Johnson=2C and all r un on at least up to 9V. I don't think
My own experience confirms this. A spring suspension on the mono would caus e some very interesting landings. It's bad enough on a trike. Very similar to : removing the shock absorbers from the front
Tim and Nigel=2C Thanks for putting me straight. I just assumed that the mono bungee had the same function. On the trigear question I don't see how the bungee or springs only come int o play on a har
Frans=2C we had the same thread about 2 years ago. Special tools (I was sil ly enough to buy one)=2C and recalculatind torque is a waste of time=2C if you do as Bob says. The force exerted by your ar
Frans=2C Sorry to butt in again=2C but you say that ACS don't have a matching wall t hickness spindle. They have exactly the same=2C I gave you the part number. Cheers=2C Karl e. Europa Flyer Mag. ro
Hi Frans=2C That must explain the confusion over wall thickness. Europa's supplier must have changed the specs somewhere along the line. In decimal inches=2C the thickness of mine is .188=2C with an
Frans=2C Are you sure the fork is made of cast iron ? Mine is aluminum. What kind of a kit did you buy ? Cheers=2C Karl e. Europa Flyer Mag. =2C is the y =3B-) == == == ==
Hi=2C I am also very confused about what has been said so far. I will be installi ng a FS450 fuel flow gadget=2C and it calls for transducers in the flow and return lines. I am not interested in how
Brian=2C I believe it helps a lot=2C but I have to think about it a little more. Are you saying that I can change my plumbing and not use a transducer in the r eturn line ? My fuel lines are as per f
Brian and Marcel=2C Many thanks for responding to my questions. I am undecided and I think I wi ll sit on this for a while. I have done all the preparatory work for the in strument and wiring. I may
