Hi Russell, I got a leak down tester from ebay, cost $28.00. It shows % drop but is great for comparing cylinders, and you can hear where the air comes out. Just make sure you remove the Schrader valve. Kiwi

Phone Grummo ☺ I sent you a pm

Hi Dave, Top tank just over 30 litres and bottom tank 40 litres. I plan on 20l per hour, and usually burn under 15 lph. I know it can burn 20lph as that what I used going from Gatton to Boonah once while been chased by a thunderstorms. I feed from the bottom tank, I know it goes quite on a glide approach at 8.2 litres but on climb out you can use almost all of the fuel. Kiwi

Here is a photo of my fuel gauge for the bottom tank. Works great.

I have seen rod ends used on control surfaces before on a Bushcaddy, seems to work fine but I do agree 5/16 been over kill.

I have a couple of floating type in 5/16.

I may have some, I will try and check tonight for you. Kiwi

In my opinion you should have it connected to the rudder cables.

I'll take some photos of my tail wheel tomorrow so you can see how the cables are attached on mine. Andrew

Welcome, Hopefully Mark (Kyle Communications) finds this post, I'm sure he will have the answer for you.

If you contact the Holbrook flying club... Contact Us One of the members was the importer years ago, and I believe that a few Rans are hangared there. I own a 912 ul S6S and the only things that I wasn't happy with was the elevator trim, the uneven fuel flow from the wing tanks and the difficulties in filling / bleeding the radiator. Also check out the Ransclan RANS CLAN Forums Kiwi

What concerns me is increasing the certified (and non certified) CTAF's to 20nm, there are a lot of airfields within 20nm of Toowoomba, and if you MUST have a radio to operate in Toowoomba CTAF, then do all aircraft within 20nm have to carry a radio. ie: Helidon, Wyreema, Cambooya etc.....

Common Dave, you know that story is a load of crap, one mile is 5280 feet. So 5280 feet in June at 6am........ Jim and the twins would never had been found.

Use a dive weight (or two) attached to the tail spring mount, using large hose clamps to secure it, but be mindfull if any light weight pilots ever fly the Drifter that they will need more ballast. boleropilot would know how much weight to add as he tried it and it worked great. Another way is to move the pilot seat as far back as the rear rudder pedals will allow. Kiwi

I got mine second hand, most aviation supply stores should be able to help you out or try Superior Air Parts but you just need to ask for 800x6 tires and tubes. The non aviation ones are only 2ply, the aviation ones are 6ply (from memory) . As for weight and balance, you only have to worry about the weight as they are pretty much on the C of G. I will probably put the 600x6's and spats back on over summer to stop the wheels throwing water and mud under the wings and through the prop. Andrew
