I think I may have traced my intermittent starting problem of my old 912UL to the ignition boxes, so I'm weighing up my options. Two new ignition boxes are around $1,000 each (!) so I'm not sure I wa
Hi Brian, the aileron assemblies are handed (mirrored), I dont think you can get away with just flipping the bellcrank around either but you might try. Martin Tuck Sent from my iPhone a W13 Bellcrank
For those that have gone before me, I have installed a Dynon Skyview SP-AP(Autopilot)-Panel but have yet to rig up the servos yet for autopilot functionality. I have wired up the standard Europa prov
I'm thinking of switching from an external monopole type com antenna (long rod sticking out at an angle with copper tape in a radiating pattern on the fuselage floor) to a Bob Archer SA-006 dipole an
Hi Jim, thanks. I now have a Dynon radio under the floor of the baggage bay so the coax will route up the back of the baggage bay to about half way, then run longitudinally mid-fuselage for about 18
Thanks Jim, I think later Europas had premoulded (hollow) fins. Mine has the original foam core fin. However it sounds like the fuselage is fine also. How it all works - well, it is all magic. :-) Re
So I was able to borrow a MFJ-259 tester and hooked up my old 'monopole' VHF antenna to measure the resonant frequency of the antenna and the SWR. The resonant frequency is the point at which you get
Thanks Jim, some good information there. Im suspecting possible corrosion or just bad contact with the whip antenna. I also suspect that the aluminum tubing which used to be the static port hook up m
Probably depends on the airspace you are in. Class C on up I think the answer is yes. Martin Sent from my iPhone at an uncontrolled field in the US do I need to keep Mode C transponder and ADS-B on?
Nine years ago on the Rotax Owners Forum there was some commentary surrounding the suitability of the Sky-Tec starter due to the lack of oil seal resulting in oil in the starter and possibly compromi
Can anyone recall the diameter of the bungee used to assist gear retraction on the mono? 3/8 inch maybe? As I recall there is not much room for it to squeeze through as you go around the frame. I thi
Hi all, Closer scrutiny of the SkyTec starter shows eligibility for the Rotax 912ULS Serials 4425001 and on. I have an older 912UL. Do you know if there a similar hi-torque starter available for it?
I had similar issues with fluctuating airspeed and altimeter. I installed the Europa wing mounted pitot/static and it has been fine ever since. I think the original fuselage mounted static ports were
Hi guys, After some hit and miss starting, I finally gave in and bought two new ignition modules which I installed today. Engine burst into life immediately upon starting. The only problem is that wh
Hi Guys, I stumbled upon a You Tube video for a Balance Master on a Rotax. http://www.balancemasters.com/aircraft.html Is anyone using one? Regards, Martin Tuck
Hi Folks, Started my 912UL today (first time for 2-3 months) and it started first time! However, I noticed that the 12V 'no-charge' lamp (connected to the rectifier pins L and C) remained illuminated

Hi folks, I'm back in the air after determining my no generator issues were due to a poor connection. When I first installed the Dynon Autopilot on my HDX system, it worked right out of the box using
