An update today; had an evening free to ponder. The 181 model received a reverse naca vent beginning aft of the door frames and ending just forward of the fuel vents. A free stream solution was dial

Do a quick explanation sketch Bud. Played with this a bit more today by adding an additional belly vent aft of the curtis valves; then another pair of vents just below the leading edge of the Hstab;
Peter the trim slots are shielded by a forward bulkhead feature on 181, so air flow to these slots is very limited. Implementing rear side exhaust ports near the Hstab has its own set of challenges
If you have cutouts in the bulkhead through to the trim slots then air will probably flow out of there, and it could also just as easily get sucked in. Without the D panel port the rear situated exh
This is proofing a hot topic!! So, Pete you are correct, I checked the model again, there is a slot in the bulkhead that allows air to flow through to the Hstab trim slots. The trim servo arm operat

Thanks, would really be interested to confirm who actually supplies Rotax their OE hydraulic lifters. The wear pattern upon the camshaft is indicating correctly on all lobes. So I am placing the roo

Thanks again for that support information. Factory must have deleted that SB mentioned but older forum posts do make mention of it. Will bypass using the HT-900's and supplement the latest 915is spe
Chris, the firewall from memory is about 6.0mm phenolic material and the drumming qualities are quite different to the rest of the fuselage; higher pitched around 2000hz. If you have a dB app on you
It's better than nothing and may be a little inaccurate due to factors such as external ambient air flow within the engine area passing over the compressor pipe itself; so the reading may be under a

Hi Tony; planning to fly 181 down coast before christmas. Wanting to know if there is pump gas available at or near to The Oaks field? Might there be any hangar space available at the field to rent
Wow what an epic journey this one has been. After months of developing solutions and some failures along the way 181 has finally received its planned upgrades, entering a new level of fit for purpos
