    So you say if I chuck a jumper on there and the radio comes good I have achieved nothing. Its a quick job on my xair. Battery and antenna are only a meter apart.
  2. BrendAn
    it takes a minute to run a jumper wire to earth. and that will tell me straight away. why do i want a cheap multimeter , i already have 2 good ones,😁

    gets wet when you slow down though.

    as far as voltage regulators go, its pity powermate regs are not made anymore. very robust and i get a constant 14v

    my antenna from mendehlsons came with foil tape to make a ground plane if needed. i am thinking my fuse tube may not have a good earth to the battery so on the weekend i will try a jumper wire from antenna mount to bat neg.

    did mine online, it worked . except they doubled the aircraft so i had to fill in the survey twice for the same plane before it would go through.

    Thanks Geoff. The shield just goes in the back of the plug . I assume it earths at the antenna mount. I will try a jumper lead from mount to batt neg and see if that does anything.
  8. BrendAn
    I am pretty clueless with this stuff. How do you earth the shield at the radio.
  9. BrendAn
    The antenna base is on a metal bracket on the fuse tube. You just made me think of something. The fuse tube might not be earthed if everything else goes to the battery. Thanks Geoff . Will have a look at that

    My DC's are not anr, that's why the Bose is better than them.

    Designed for national geographic to do a tv series in the Congo. It's in the link above.

    I just bought a set of refurbished Bose a 10s for 800. Fantastic compared to my DC's. Wish I could spare 2000 for new ones . Maybe down the track. I couldn't here the CFI properly with the DC's now I hear him loud and clear.

    Can I hijack this thread why you are talking electrics. I have an mgl radio and when I click the push to talk the tacho needle goes haywire. Reception is also scratchy. Would this be a dirty earth somewhere.

    I thought the ultra cruiser was not part 103.
  15. BrendAn
    I thought those conversions had a tooth belt reduction drive.

    Had a look at the spacek after you mentioned it. Very nice looking plane.

    You are too serious 😁. take a chill pill.

    you seem to dislike kawasaki almost as much as facthunter despises rotax
  20. BrendAn
    If you watch the video at the start they talk about this and how Kawasaki aviation was the fore runner to Kawasaki motorcycles.
  21. BrendAn
    No. I am not confusing Mitsubishi and Kawasaki. Did I say they would use belts. Maybe Kawasaki should get in touch , you could advise them on what they should do 😁
  22. BrendAn
    Look up Kawasaki. They have produced a lot of fw military aircraft from WW2 onwards and don't forget Kawasaki helicopters. The standard engine on a lot of ultralights years ago was the Kawasaki 440 with belt drive reduction.
  23. BrendAn
    Kawasaki are one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world so they certainly have the experience and expertise to produce an excellent engine.
  24. BrendAn
    Have you flown in a Rotax powered plane . As red said they are quieter than conventional aero engines.
  25. BrendAn
    Good silencers fix that.
