Jim, not good quality and fail quickly or very expensive aluminum ones. Another source is SteinAir. http://www.steinair.com/eyeballvents.htm They sell high quality aluminum vents at a more reasonable
Hello all, I have received my long range tank recently and am preparing it for installation. The cap does not fit well and it leaks. I took some measurements of the threads on both the cap and the ta
Hello all, I do not know how many builders are using the monowheel long ranger tank, but I am surprised not to receive any response on the forum regarding my previous message below. May be I have got
I am relaying this message from Gavin Stewart. If you are interested, please contact him off forum at: gavinstewart@talktalk.net Dear Remi, I have a very nice metal long range tank sitting in my gara
Hi, The GTX 328 uses the 330 rack. I confirm again that the 328 fits ok into the Europa. For those who still do not believe it, I have attached two pictures of my instrument panel. My panel module is
Hi Bob, Thank you for your response. It looks like your tank and cap are slightly better than mine. I made a first flight today with the long range tank installed and filled with about 15 liters. The
Hi Ira, It is interesting to compare your computed figures with those from ROTAX and DIAMOND. Based on fig.14, page 10-8 of the ROTAX 912ULS Owner Manual, the engine should be capable of producing 75
Thanks Ira for your table. I believe it requires some explanation: what do the colors mean? Are all figures at full throttle? If not, at least one parameter (altitude or temperature) is missing. Can
Ira, I would love to have a mixture control system on my aircraft. However as I understand how the HACman/Greensky mixture control works, I am afraid it would unacceptably affect the reliability of t
Ron, You will be adding a complicated system to an already complicated engine. I am afraid this will further reduce the reliability of your engine. Dealing with this sort of experiment on the ground
Ira, I disagree with your assertion that altitude is not needed in your table. A given setting, i.e. 5000 rpm and 22" will give you more power at 8000 ft than at 1000 ft. because the temperature bein
Ira, You misread me. I said that a given combination of MP and RPM gives you more power at altitude. I am not talking about max full throttle power. Of course I agree that full throttle power decreas
Ira, I understand that but I do not have this book here. How does the effect of the lower pressure on the exhaust vent compare with the effect of the lower temperature of the intake air? Remi is due
Hi Paul, I have installed the blue silicone hoses from Stefan Ingemarsson on the water radiator and am very happy with them. The replacement was done one and a half year and 150 flying hours ago. The
Frank, I suggest you also try to put more cushion on the lower back of the seat to get a more reclined position. The upper portion of the seat back should be as thin as possible. Moving your bottom f
Hi Terry, That interesting information. I am not surprised to learn that the engine is running lean of peak at sea level, even at full power, as this is consistent with the specific fuel consumptions
Hi Bruno and all, The French RSA rally will be held in Vichy on July 10-12, 2009. Vichy is located right in the center of France. More info will be available within the next few months at http://www.
Mike, According to the Install Manual, the GTX 428 has been granted the ETSO-2C112b level 2S by EASA . I am just wondering what you need that for ? Regards Remi Guerner F-PGKL 328.<<<<<<< Regards, Mi
Terry, I am coming back to this subject as I am doing some maintenance on the engine and had to remove the exhaust system. I took this opportunity to look at the coloration inside the exhaust elbows.
Graham, I agree that the inlet configuration is important. As I am using the Rotax 912 series optional airbox, this may be the cause of the different mixture distribution compared to the same engine
