  1. you chill out. i am going back to reading posts only. no drama then. 🙂
  2. i am getting tired of his bullshit. you agree with him . i can't post anything without it turning into a shit fight. i asked a simple question and it turns into this. from now on i will research what i want to know without posting it on here. i like to put it on here because it promotes discussion and keeps the forum going.
  3. what are you on about now.
  4. i agree with this post . i look after engines and rarely have a problem. and the day i stop learning is not here yet .
  5. so you are saying you have never had a negative thing to say about rotax engines.
  6. nev putting down something you have not even seen is hardly dealing with facts.
  7. true. but i wish i kept mine to myself.
  8. this is getting annoying. i started this thread about my mag drop and end up defending myself as usual. nev you say you have no axe to grind yet you do nothing but criticise rotax engines. if i listened to you i would not get in an aircraft powered by rotax, just too dangerous.
  9. the woman they interviewed was an ex pilot herself and i thought she made some good points. and the head of the aemerican pilots association had a similar view. i know these programs sensationalise stories for views but you focus on the genuine parts of the story. if it was on the woke left abc i bet there would be no argument.
  10. because you shitcan things without even looking at them.
  11. engines run nicer with iridium plugs and there is less load on the ignition itself. not to mention the extra life over stock plugs.
  12. That's your opinion
  13. I am running amsoil interceptor because it is considered the best oil for Rotax. And Iridium plugs cross referenced from the stock plugs..
  14. I don't really care . I just assumed you knew where the record could be found. If you google Rotax rick, the guru of Rotax, he reckons the 618 is the best of the 2 strokes if looked after correctly. He recommends running 40 to 1 . None of his rebuilds have failed and he thinks 40 to 1 is the main reason. I have oil injection but I need to add a bit of oil to the fuel too I suppose. I was terrified my Jabiru engine would explode but it ran like a Swiss watch. Read to many internet posts about how bad they were.
  15. Where do I find the records. I found a bit about crank bearing failures.
  16. You are arguing about something you have not watched. You need to see the thing for yourself to know if you are right or not.
  17. That's the great thing about where I fly. I always have a farm under me if I have an engine failure. Although I would try to land on a road if suitable.
  18. How do you know if you didn't watch it.
  19. Enclosed cabin. Doors make a big difference. You can fly mine in your Speedos while sipping pina colladas.
  20. 618 s have the strongest crank of all the 2 smoke Rotax . That's why they weigh more than a 582. The same crank in a 670 runs up to 135 hp.
  21. It's just a 43 second upload from my phone. It should work but I don't know much about these things.
  22. You wouldn't know if you didn't watch it. The people interviewed made some good points about the Mental health of airline pilots . Many pilots are afraid to speak up if they have a problem because it can mean a long time without employment and thousands of dollars to prove they are fit to fly again. There have been 8 suicide crashes that have killed hundreds of people.
  23. Seven spotlight is about this crash tonight.
  24. Yes. They climb good but only 65 knts flat out.
