Metzenes Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I am new here. Looks like a great site. I am training in a Jabiru J160 and have bought a complete home built Teenie Two with no engine. I have half a volkswagon engine but am leaning towards a Rotax 912 or may be a Jabiru 2200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metzenes Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Might be a VW Hi Brent. I agree the JULIET ROMEO WHISKEY is a fine plane to fly. I changed m mind about engines and am looking at an VWaero from Great Planes or an aero v. I will still continue to fly JULIET ROMEO WHISKEY even when I get my plane off the ground. My plane is a single seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pioneer200 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 What stage of the training are you up to now? What engine did the teenie two have in it before you bought it? I am going up in the Jabby tommorrow(taking mother in law for a fly) weather permitting. I see you went up earlier in the week. Did it start ok in the cold for you, I have heard it needs choke left on while taxiing till things warm up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzenes Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Keep the choke on You have to keep the choke on right up till preflight checks. After it has warmed up you do your 2000RPM check. At this stage you can drop off the choke. Be a bit careful when coming in to land. You might want not to go below 1200RPM. I haven't had the engine stop but it just about cut out once on the first landing. I always keep a hand on the throttle when coming in to land but it helps to keep an eye on the REV counter whenever you decrease throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pioneer200 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have had the prop stop on touch down about 3 times since new engine installed. I think Keith needs to adjust the idle up a bit. Me and David are looking at organising a fly away when the Pioneer is back in the air. Would you be keen to come? Possible route AS - Wanaka - AS ,or AS - Oamaru - Omarama - AS Talk soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzenes Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 keen Yep, I would be keen to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzenes Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 The teenie two had a Jabiru in it. I have done my radio exam and about 25-30 hours. Need to find time to do more exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
