Yenn Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I have been asked to do the test flying on a Jodel. Don't see much of a problem with the basic aeroplane, but it is fitted with an EA81 Subaru engine, fuel injected. Does anyone have any experience, tips on running these engines.

Guest Maj Millard Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nothing wrong with a Jodel, Subarus seem to run fine when they are running. Just make sure it is running fine !! I'd tie it up and give it a good floggin, to check temps, power, cooling etc...............................................................

albert Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 HI Ian I built and tested a Jodel D18 which had a VW 2 ltr engine in it. The aircraft is a good design (Properly built) so as far as the aircraft is concerned no problems. The engine needs to be tested on the ground for the usual things like oil temp, engine temp and vibration . The EA81 supra has been used on this type of aircraft overseas all with good reports for what that’s worth. The Jodel if it is a D18 well left off at about 38kts and climb out at around 500>700 fpm at 60 knots. Hope it helps Albert Cassar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
