    New employment position opportunities for airport ground staff opening up soon; "Piss-Takers" required, apply within, must hold current green card and ASIC....

    You can use Pipistrel Vario Prop performance charts from either Virus or Sinus POH; plenty of relevant information in there. Long story short, you acquire your set engine rpm then coursen the pitch to your set MAP, and then make fine adjustments for desired cruise speed. In general 26 MAP at 4800rpm will be most economical cruise for a 912 up to critical height for that MAP. When you adjust back to fine pitch you adjust your rpm down first, then pitch fine to MAP, to avoid over speeding the engine... Going to a course pitch its the opposite, pitch course, rpm increase to MAP Cruise 25-28 MAP Downwind 23 MAP Final 18 MAP With all those flight modes and MAP settings you can set 5000rpm as your target for all of them; the CSU governor will hold 5000rpm

    I read somewhere on the white paper that it really is equipped with FLIES (Flys Like It Embodies Shit) anti collision safety features... can anybody confirm this? Have any further defications been provided yet? 🤔

    Pull the ballistic chute handle; see if it works..

    During conversations with Dean Winton a few years ago he presented the possibility of wrapping the boom with resin carbon fibre to provide additional strength.

    That's great; we can all send them an email with the awesome opportunity available that if they give us an aircraft for free we will put up posts on our facebook and instagram pages to promote their product.. it would demonstrate they are serious. 👍

    ABC News report; news just in... "Tree falls on Cessna at private airstrip..."

    If pilots do not have an ASIC how will airfield security be able to identify the terrorists? This is a major security issue!!! 🙆‍♂ī¸

    You are clutching at straws; i will explain why... when a crankshaft is balanced it is done so with all ancillary components attached, flywheel, pulleys, gears, retaining bolts; the clutch plate is left out as its position is not fixed. The crank assembly is then dynamically balanced; flywheels and crankshafts are generally pre balanced separately first. I am assuming rotax balance the 912 crank with conrods attached; i could be way wrong. Adding a balance master to the rear without adding also to the front will serve no benefit.

    I put glass of water with small frog in it and rest it on the top of the instrument panel.. if the water vibrates, it is bad. If the water does not vibrate, it is good... if the frog moves, the frog moves; means nothing, but is noted anyway...

    No, 600rpm on the tacho.. but only during tuning and balancing; idle speed is 1800rpm during normal operation

    Exactly; so would require customised insertion device at the opposite end of the prop shaft; in the rear bit.. 😐 🤷đŸŊ‍♂ī¸ 😃
  17. Area-51
    I use balance master for three years now; its great; mounted behind bolly prop hub.... carbis all balanced 912 purrs very smooth at 600rpm no gearbox rattles; very quiet, no vibration.. because prop shaft is divorced from crankshaft a second balance master mounted at rear of prop shaft will deal with residual imbalance of prop shaft. Nobody gives the rear of the prop shaft any attention 👨‍✈ī¸âœˆī¸

    I am extremely disappointed with the lackluster turnover rate of replenishing on Marketplace and lack of community support by the media companies toward minority interest groups... It is stifling the development of my hobby aircraft pursuits. ☚ī¸

    I just ordered six of these units for my driveway off AliExpress; my AI reception lady apps suggested i feed in images of all my friends before the units arrive and are installed... 🤷đŸŊ‍♂ī¸ sorry the title has bad language translation... https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/N7Iq60g9JJ

    Maybe the airfix glue holding the wheel on was not correctly applied perhaps? 😕

    Who is still trying to work out difference between "bicycle" and "fire hydrant"???? How many times did you try and fail before giving up and returning attention to something real like "hobby plane" project on kitchen bench???
