  2. thats exactly what jabiru did with their engines.
  3. it will be interesting to see how reliable this engine is . matt the owner of the plane posts a lot of videos over the canadian summer.
  4. A good channel to follow if you're interested in the clone 912
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. its sort of looks like modern art.
  9. 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.
  10. not mine . all the power went through it. the battery was behind the fuel tank and the solenoid was directly in front of it and 1st position of the key energised it and powered everything up. 912 not jab motor.
  11. my xair is 19 and does not have one. my jabiru was 55 reg and that had a master solenoid near the battery.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. yes really. its correct name is an overload clutch and it has a drum and multiple clutch discs. it certainly can fully slip.
  15. its a pity. great for getting in and out of hangars.
  16. this is in the classifieds. didn't know it was a jab option.
  17. the 912 has a slipper clutch which protects the crank from prop strike.
  18. Lots of raaus aircraft have folding wings. I doubt they get an inspection each time they come out of the hangar or trailer
  19. 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.
