Hi sandman worth about $200 as is

Thanks for your information all sorted now couldn’t work out why my prop wouldn’t fit bolt pattern a lousy 1.6 mm difference . Cheers

Hi could someone tell me if the bolt pattern on the prop hub of a Rotax 912 ul or uls is different to a rotax 914 please Cheers Geoff.

No if it’s not a certified aircraft you can fly it on condition .

Thanks for the info ,get him to do some measurements see what he has Cheers Geoff

My friend purchased a roll of fabric from Avi quip when they were closing down ,there are no identifying marks on fabric or the cardboard tube is there anyway of determining wether it is stits or ceconite .cheers Geoff.

Yes at the carbys but I used a splitter box so only one cable attached to carby its self .

Yes they work with dual throttles so long as you get the right one so passenger side isn't locked ,gets rid of all that linkage system mine works great

Hi Lyndon I had similar situation on my 701 very close to the linkage so I removed mine and put in a vernier style throttle , cables eliminates all the linkages just have two cables to carbys

I had the same during my training CFI reached over kill the engine and said don't fxxxxk this up ,first one was on down wind ,he did it about 20 times best training ever different conditions with no power really makes you think on how you approach you landing lot goes through your head .

Hi Phil what are you doing in NZ do you ever stay in oz long enough to finish your 701.

Taught myself to fly in 1987 in an easy riser still alive to tell the story what a thrill then tyro and on to my faithful Drifter.

1 would be 24 2 would be 19

My zenith 701 is a hybrid as lot of the parts came from a savannah which Rick sourced for me ,world of knowledge and great bloke will be sadly missed RIP Rick .

I used citra strip on my 701 none corrosive paint stripper painted it on with brush then wrapped it in glad wrap left it on for about an hour then pressure washed it off did a great job came back to nice clean aluminium.
