That attitude is soo last century, Nev. The configuration of its undercarriage has no bearing. Fluidity can mean it identifies as a passenger jet, cargo carrier or bush plane. Heck, it can even be a gyrocopter if it so chooses. Just make sure you use the correct pronouns.

Rubber mounts work a treat. Here’s hoping they extend the life of radiator #2.

OK….Time for an update. I’ve back-ordered a genuine Rotax radiator with BF Imports. The genuine item price quoted was around $350, which is cheap compared to the item that is installed in RANS RV-12iS’s, that is around US$800. (Vans have a service bulletin on their RV-12iS that requires changes to the mounting due to many failed radiators) I’m going to mount the new one (when it arrives in a few weeks) with some vibration isolators that will go between the M6 mounting bolts and the Adel clamps attached to the engine mount.

At only 132h my genuine Rotax radiator has sprung a small leak. I’m curious to know if anyone has had experience with the aftermarket alternatives that sell online for around AUD$90, or other options?

20L/h….That’s remarkable. Thanks for the insights Nevan. Safe flight. -

High-wing RV-15: progress report from Van's
rodgerc replied to Garfly's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
In my case, it’s access to strips in interesting locations. I associate socially with a bunch of Vans RV owners….3 x RV10, 1 each RV14a, RV8, RV9a and a RV12. When the call went out recently for a jaunt to Orchid Beach on Fraser Island for lunch, only one thought the strip was acceptable….and he took his second aircraft, the red RANS S-21 in the background. 😊

Has anyone used an ANR headphone conversion kit?
rodgerc replied to Methusala's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
I upgraded a DC H10-13.4 a few years back. It works OK but not as well as my wife’s Lightspeed. My two primary reservations are: It’s still got the David Clamps/Cramps comfort level and it’s a heavy consumer of 9v batteries. But it was a LOT less expensive than a Bose or Lightspeed. -
It’s been suggested in the media that The Member for Kennedy may be a king maker in the coming weeks…..He loves an “issue”…..Does anyone here live in Kennedy?
