had some good news yesterday. i rang about my life insurance policy again and told them to cancel it because i am not covered for any dangerous pastimes. they went through the policy documents and discovered i am covered for all types of death. the last person who told me i wasn't covered was quoting limited life cover which is a very basic cover that only pays out if you die in your sleep pretty much and excludes anything you might enjoy doing. so now i have confirmation and a highlighted document showing that i am covered and do not need to look for other insurance.

Excellent. Thankyou

random question, but i am confused why helicopter headsets have one plug and fixed wing have two.

This thread is f###ed. Need a new 110 hp thread

I am not writing you off but you are always telling us how bad rotax engines are when that is not the case at all. The 912 gearbox is part of the engine package and still comes in at the same weight as an 0200. And they are a very simple gearbox.

I just watched a YouTube about a Yamaha phaser powered kitfox. They seem to be a good option for ultralights. Definately not low revving though.

A 912 uls is the same weight and HP as an 0200 . Installed minus cowling.

How do thousands of rotax engines and gearboxes perform good and last a long time . According to you they can't do that.

1900 is not bad for a 912. i know of a 100 hp 912 that has 3600 hrs and is still passing leakdown tests. doesn't burn oil either

there was one of these for sale in victoria a couple of months ago.

some friends hired an rv in new york and spent 6 weeks touring and dropped it off in sanfrancisco, i think they only paid about $2000 for the rv. that was before covid though. probably a lot more now.

brilliant

would it be worthwhile renting an rv and staying thyere or are campsites hard to get. i would love to do an rv trip for a couple of weeks with a stop over at oshkosh

i think it would be fair to pay his bonus in qantas credits. take him years to get his money then.

i heard on the radio today that a passenger witnessed the cabin crew high fiveing one another on a qantas flight when they anounced the little man had left early yeserday

wouldn't the club plane be insured by the club not the hirer.

If anyone read that post from another site they would see there are some differences

Okay, my favorite subject and soapbox. I did extensive research years ago. There are certainly a few oil filters that fit the Rotax 912. They are ones that usually fit the Toyota truck. I have a list of about 8 filters. The Pure One used to be at the top of the list due to its particle filtering capabilities. Years ago before Rotax changed to the filter they have today I would have argued that a filter like the Pure One was even better, but that has all changed. Rotax made a few changes that the US auto or motorcycle filters do not have. I will state that the paper filter medium inside the Rotax filter is nothing special, but all our US oil filters have a by-pass pressure of 13-15 psi. Rotax used to be 14-16 psi. One psi wasn't a big deal and it isn't even that accurate and that's why you see the psi spread. This allowed too much unfiltered oil to by-pass. Rotax by-pass pressure is now 18-22 psi to stop that. US oil filters use a wet sump engine with the reservoir at the bottom of the engine. The Rotax is a dry sump and the oil tank is supposed to be mounted within special limits related to the engine. Many did not follow these specs. For instance Kitfox mounted their oil tanks way too high. With the old filters and the standard US auto filter this allowed for oil to siphon back down towards the cylinders and it did cause some engines to have hydra lock. One of the reasons we gurgle before start. The newer Rotax filter has a check valve in place to prevent that. Other people mounted the tanks too low. This siphoned the oil out of the engine. Rotax replaced the anti drain back membrane with a newer softer material to prevent that. The US auto filter membranes are too stiff. Like anything else in life some people get away with things and some don't. As far as warranty Rotax can and does cover many things out of warranty. People have to mentally get past warranty considerations and think long term. For instance I know of someone that had a 912ULS with 833 hrs. and 6 years old. He lost the #1 exhaust lifter. Rotax stepped up and paid for the problem. The hardness coating decade. It would have been easily argued that the wrong and poor filter choice if it had not been a Rotax filter allowed particulates to by-pass that lead to this failure. The only thing that saved this person was he used all Rotax parts, documented such and had absolute good documentation since day one. This saved this person thousands of dollars all which may have been denied because he wanted to save a couple bucks on a filter. What a waste that would have been. If you have any failure Rotax and or the NTSB if involved will want a complete copy of your logbook. So crappy record keeping (even if barley legal), use of after market parts and poor maint. can and does bite people in the butt on a very regular basis. found this on the net.

rotary engine not mower.

years ago i put fuel filters on a 400 cummins. they had been in the box under the bunk for years. did a trip out the bush for grain, limped back into albany missing a couple of pots. turned out all the injectors had a gel like substance in them and all had to be rebuilt. i always thought grain dust must have got in them over the years but after reading this it sounds like they may have failed from old age.
