Some one has researched a replacement for the Rotax oil filter. I'm about to do my first oil change (25 Hrs) and I would prefer to not use the factory filters ($$ to much). Has anyone found a replace
Hi Martin, Yes, thats what I have for a P/N for Fram. However, I can not find it through any auto parts house. I will try to get it thru the WEB. Yes, you don't want to use cheep items but to use a m
Mike, I put a 1-1/2" x 5" vent between the cowling rebate and the windshield just in front of the pilot. It is hinged at the rebate and falls inward down toward the panel at the back side. It is cont
John, I found out that putting a sheet of heavy clear plastic in the area where the wing support will touch the wing, seems to eliminate that problem. Bob Berube at Flight Crafters told me about that
Hi Dave, Mine came in at 890# with the electric prop (NSI) on it. Yes, it seems that when you do your weight and balance, the cg is right where it is suppose to be. I did both scenarios with 1 pilot
Dave, If you are using the XS cowl, put it in that area where the 914 gets its air. That NACA duct can lead to a large area. I used the 914 cowl isolating adapter that is put there. I put mine agains
Stu, I have one and I did bench testing (wiring ) and checked it out. Had to send my readout back to NSI to have it updated as I had a very early unit. They did it and got it right back. Do you have
Andrew, I took my manual with me and I also had notes of dates when each main part was done. I also took many pix of each thing I did and brought the pix album with me. I was ready for most any quest
KP, How about some pix of your unit??? I would like to see what it looks like. Made one myself and haven't put it on but will in the near future. Jim Nelson N15JN
Richard, I put mine behind the vertical post of the windscreen. Sit in the a/c and have the outlet behind your knee rather than in front of your knee. I call the forward mounted units - knee coolers
Steve, Put it in front. My 912S with the NSI electric prop still had the CG in mid range, right where it should be. Short cables, lower weight ect. Jim Nelson N15JN
Ira, Go the effort to move the air inlet to the area where the 914 gets its air. Put your filter and inlet in the area where the lower NACA vent is located. I got the 914 sheet metal to close off the
Pops' Have you considered doing the regular conventional gear. Flight Crafters / Bob Berube has a very good installation for that configuration. I installed the interior parts in my build so I could
Terry, I just installed a oil temp control valve that I got from Lockwood Aviation here in Fla. It is suppose to keep the temps going to the engine about 180 to 190 F. I have a highly modified coolin
Dave, I had to get only liability insurance last Aug. as no one was writing for a Mono-wheel. Avemco did that. Very curious as all I wanted was hull insurance on the ground and liability in flight. M
Steve, It all depends where you are going to fly. Here in Florida, the summers are hazy and having a horizon to reference is very important. Weather changes quickly and you can be caught. As an instr
Gary, That's cuz I designed the cooling systems myself. Seperate oil and seperate water. My Mono-wheel seems to tolerate the heat quite well in my configuration. This coming summer will help to see h
Dave, On take off's, keep the stick full back until about 40K, then let the stick start to come forward. About that time, the aircraft will leap into the air. The reason for the full back stick is to
John, I installed a tiny MAC servo in my aileron for just that situation. It needs to be a minimum of 1.5" by 8" More is better in span wise. We are limited in depth but width is flexible. One of the
