  1. HI Ian

     

    I built and tested a Jodel D18 which had a VW 2 ltr engine in it. The aircraft is a good design (Properly built) so as far as the aircraft is concerned no problems. The engine needs to be tested on the ground for the usual things like oil temp, engine temp and vibration .

     

    The EA81 supra has been used on this type of aircraft overseas all with good reports for what that’s worth. The Jodel if it is a D18 well left off at about 38kts and climb out at around 500>700 fpm at 60 knots. Hope it helps

  2. HI J430

     

    Firstly. I and nor do I think that the majority of Raa members are sheep I believe that they are of high intelligent, cause for one they moved away from a system

     

    That was chocking them with cost amongst other things (GA).

     

    Flying is a privilege not a right. Well then perhaps we should remove the word freedom of flight from our vocabulary.

     

    Why should we share a cost for something that is not need anyway I could continue but I think the group gets my drift.

     

    My biggest concern is why has air services not included the RAA as part of the Jcp (joint communication process ) considering the RAA is representing about 8000 pilots perhaps they have a hidden agenda.

     

    Just My thoughts

  4. Ballistic parachute

     

    I have heard that once the parachute is deployed you lose control of the aircraft

     

    Worse still if it deploys unexpectedly in flight its bad news .I have seen footage of it happening when the air craft was taking off many years ago on what looked like a drifter or something like it. Anyway I will not come to any conclusions and what for the professionals to find out the cause of the unfortunate incident.

     

    My condolence to :;)7: families and friends.

  6. Hi Bateo

     

    I’m a level 2 .I have only just joined this list so a hello to you all out there

     

    After reading about your problem I think it may be that your

     

    Ignition timing is to fare advanced which causes pre ignition. The reason why it seems to start better with the new battery is because it has moor cranking power to over come the

     

    Pre-ignition. But of corse I can not be sure with out been there this should be check as it can cause engine damage and possible engine failure.

     

    Hope this helps.
