Mine is exactly the same. In fact, I remember before doing the weight increase mod I put one of the brand new bushes on the brand new spar pins and was surprised by how much it wobbled about. But whe
Just a couple of basic questions (my electrics knowledge is very basic) I'm wiring up my new secondhand Rotax - upgrading my plane from a previously installed car engine conversion. 95% of the aircra

My throttle cables are a bit stiff, particularly when reducing power at low power settings. Increasing power is fine. I think I have the cable routing the best I can achieve and the binding is defini
Hi Svein, just a thought - probably not relevant to you but do you have the small starter motor or the larger heavy duty one installed? It's just that I was having the exact same starting problems th
