Fuel Tank Sealing
BrendAn replied to skippydiesel's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
I agree with all that. But if it was me for the sake of $100 I would be using what a lame advised because you know it is the best for the job -
Fuel Tank Sealing
BrendAn replied to skippydiesel's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
Well said . Skippy is being a tightarse in the wrong area here. When I was an apprentice I had the bright idea to add a bit of silicon to the caulk gasket because the xc falcon sender's were hard to seal properly. After a couple of days the car stalled. The silicon had broken into small strands in the petrol. Ended up removing the tank. And blowing out the fuel lines. Cleaning the fuel pump and carby. -
if you zoom in it looks like the wing is laying along the fuselage and the wing tip is under the tail. or i might be seeing things

yes. remember the jabiru on the news a while back that hit the hangar at goolwa. i think it was goolwa anyway. well the raaus liability policy paid for all damage promptly and without any fuss. which is good to know.

VW based engines. Pros and cons from users?
BrendAn replied to danny_galaga's topic in Engines and Props
the rotax manual is online nev. look it up and it will explain all. the fact that you don't know of any other engine with this feature shows the quality of the 9 series engines. -
VW based engines. Pros and cons from users?
BrendAn replied to danny_galaga's topic in Engines and Props
The gear reduction units found on the Rotax 912 A , 912 F and 914 F engines incorporate an overload clutch to limit damage in the event of a propeller strike and an axially incorporated torsional load absorber. this is off the rotax website. i am pretty sure they should know -

the 912 has a slipper clutch which protects the crank from prop strike. -
Dual Inspection for a folding wing aircraft
BrendAn replied to old man emu's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Lots of raaus aircraft have folding wings. I doubt they get an inspection each time they come out of the hangar or trailer -
So if someone has an accident how will anyone know if the aircraft has any non approved parts or mods. Raaus made it clear they will Not investigate accidents any more and casa won't do it because it's raaus responsibility.
