I have a question of my own though.
Can anyone tell me if vh experimental have to be fitted with strobes , nav lights and transponders if they are vfr only not in cta.
I watched a video once about a piper I think it was. The owner had it available for hire . Anyway she got sent a GoPro of some clown doing aeros and pushing it way beyond the Poh limits.
mz202 is a direct replacement for 582 and seem to have a good reputation. this is what aerochutes are fitted with now and they are the australian agents. knowing them they will make them too expensive
i am only asking on behalf of the person doing it. 550 hrs airframe and engine. 912 2007 model. very detailed and well kept log books from new.
he is sending off the casa form tomorrow so it will be interesting to see if he gets put through the ringer too.
can't see why an engine that is still returning good test results should not run on condition. how many ga aircraft are on condition. i know 2 debonairs that have been on it for 20 years.
and we know how reliable the 912 engines are. good for way past 2000 hours.
Yes, I know it is casa. he was told it will be most likely be approved without inspection because of the low hours , so you are saying $5000 anyway for the paperwork. scary stuff, that charge may have gone up.
I never said anything about new engines. Plenty of used around , admittedly more 503s than 447. I was just thinking those motors would work well. There are quite a few paramotors engines that might work too. 1/2 VW's are antiquated too.
