I thought some of you builders, who are more advanced than me, might like to know that Skydrive is offering a special deal on Rotax 912 engines. They have about half a dozen, XS spec. engines with Ro

Steve, Don't worry too much about the aluminium (structurally) unless you operate near the sea or you're fusssy about internal appearances. I've painted my internal steel bits with red lead primer th

Jerry, Sounds all right to me. One thing I'm reminded to mention - don't use steel wool on aluminium parts which are going to be anodised. Tiny particles of steel embed themselves in the surface and

Tom, Gold coloured plating like this is normally zinc with (what the trade calls) colour. It's actually a passivating treatment. there should be no need to paint but passivated zinc plate has a limit

John, Skydrive has just developed a carb heat system for the 912 which uses hot water to warm the throat. I'm not sure if it's available yet - (Nigel's just finished testing it), but it won't be long

John, As Richard says, the 912 has been known to suffer badly from carb icing when installed in some microlights, the main recipient being the butterfly valve. On trikes there is no cowling and no ch

Dear All Graham's findings and analysis have the ring of truth about them. If the fits were good when new, then the problem would arise from inadequate bearing strength on the walls of the holes into
