I have been happy with the Airmaster on my 914. It has been reliable after 100 hours. It will feather if you have any ideas about gliding. Ken Carpenter N 9XS A123 -- Original Message -- From: "Tony
I agree with Bob's excellent description of the Mono. I had two hours in the demo and it was very helpful. I operate off grass and that helps a lot. It would help any beginning Mono pilot to learn on
I have my strobe on the top of the fin, It is not a problem in the way of electrical or antenna interference. I do not fly at night. In late evening or very overcast conditions, I occasionally catch
I had the same experience with the light color a hazy reflection. I placed a piece of black felt cloth over the top of the panel and it does not seem to generate heat in the panel while stopping the
I am happy with my Airmaster after 106 hours. It will feather and eventually I expect to have glider wings. The three blades of the Airmaster seem to "soak up the power". Not sure how the Arplast wou
I agree with you Jim, on the static issue. I also have the same characteristic on the aileron trim. My tab is 7" and not quite enough. I added a 6" Flettner strip under the starboard aileron and now

I have been using one for about six months. Works well and easy installation. Sometimes takes a ten minutes to get settled down and not sure what that is all about but it will track a heading and kee
I moved my oil radiator down to the cowl surface. I also closed off about half of the opening under the water radiator. This forces most of the air through the water radiator first. That has helped a
I have a mono and agree that the plane will settle some. Suggest leaving the outriggers as supplied . You can always get longer ones later after taxi tests. Ken Carpenter A123 N 9 XS -- Original Mess
Bryan puts it well. Another issue is that on grass, the outriggers will touch more than on hard surface. Even on hard surface, it is not unusual to encounter areas where the hard surface has a low ar
I'll try to get there with my plane. Am currently flying with the glider wings after about 175 hours with the short wings. At this point, I felt better at ten hours in the short wings than I do at tw
I used Smooth Prime and it seemed to work well. I finished with Top Gloss and found it a lot of work. It required much sanding and buffing to get a fair gloss(not a high gloss). I decided I wanted to
Put me down as one who is happy with the Rotax 914. There have been a few minor issues in the first 250 hours, but they are not the engine's fault. It did help to balance the carburetors. I had to ad
