    Hi Danny, Would be great if one of the electronics guru's would participate because I am just winging it - the capacitor may have an electronic noise suppression function (I don't know) but its main job is to smooth/take any"spikes" out of the charging system.

    I stand to be corrected -My knowledge of electronics is virtually zero but I seem to recall that this is how the Rotax regulator started out only to retrospectively advise the installation of a capacitor after multiple failures?

    Smidgion short of 200 views. The interests is there but no one willing to have a small punt. Commooooon!, even the unused batteries should be worth a few $$, for anyone who has broken off their transponder antenna, my hard to break ones must have possibilities (even as spares) and what of the VSI ? working when removed. The control column accessory mount (think Garmin) can hold (with some Velcro) almost any small Nav device including your phone.😈

    Thanks Blue, I think at least two of the transceivers work but have deliberately avoided making any claims about condition. There are some pretty handy electronics enthusiasts on this Forum - that they might be intersted in the electronic stuff and the home builders in the rest. REMINDER!!! - YOU CAN MAKE AN OFFER, given the level of enthusiasm, first offer likly to get the lot.😈

    Interest continues (views) but no takers - perhaps you are put off by the lack of a price???????😈

    The RV4 pilot who recommended this unit, seemed to think it met all of the standards for this sort of device.

    Tempting Danny. Will hold out a little longer in the hope of finding a "stiff" pipe. Thanks

    Awesome teamwork. That first officer can fly with me an day.😈

    My local Holden dealership tormented me (knowing my passion for almost all things diesel) with the suggestion that Holden was considering fitting their 6 speed (manual) ute with a 3L turbo diesel - would have bought one for sure.😈

    Seems that 61.6 ID rolling is considered to be more of a hobby than a commercial service. I can purchase a 610mm "slip roller" for $473. Tad expensive for a one off. Anyone out there got one I can borrow/use/pay you to do the job.

    The duct (part of an exhaust extraction system) need to be reasonably air tight or wont work. Overlap might do the trick, clamps add significantly to weight but a lot cheaper than welder time.

    Dont be sorry, any excuse for a chat😈

    Could be an ATEC Faeta NG. Check out the lower stall , same cruise of the high HS of the original Faeta

    Had quite a few views - So far no responder's. You can put your own value/price on the stiff you know😈

    Good thought Thruster. Tig weld would be the way to go. Any suggestions as to who might provide such a service?

    Thanks Roger - Most of this pipe has the wrong ID but as I said I am talking to a custom intercooler manufacturer who may be able to assist me.

    There's a thought - Existing tube solid - Will dwell on this idea. Thanks

    Thanks Turbo, The original pipe (that I damaged) is metal - I think aluminium alloy but may be something else. Came with the partially completed project, so I assume sourced in AU.

    Thanks Thruster, This is an part of an exhaust extractor system. Dont think SCAT would tolerate the heat for very long.

    Hi All, I need to replace a hot air duct. The critical dimensions are ID & length. ID 61.6 mm x Length 550 mm Fitting over existing structures/supports is the reason for the ID (could probably get away with a little bigger, but smaller would be problematic). Original tube had an aproximately 1 mm wall thickness. I think OD is going to be around 2.5 in, in the Devil's measurement system that most suppliers seem to use. Note: measuring device (& operator) not as precise as might be hoped. Have tried all the aircraft suppliers of tube, that come up on Google - no joy. Tried a few commercial aluminium suppliers - min wall thickness 2 -3 mm in this size pipe, making ID way to small . Currently corresponding with a custom intercooler builder but not holding out much hope. Suggestions welcome

    Friction modifiers have been around as long as man has wanted to make it easier to move one surface against another -be warned, even those that work, may NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE.

    If this guy didnt oversell every point, the video would be 75% shorter. A real endurance effort to get through it - I failed.😈

    With regards to the people offering training in a Decathlon out of Moorabbin, my understanding is I can't fly VH registered aircraft under my RPC and no flying in controlled airspace unless I convert to RPL. Is it possible to do endorsements in aircraft I can not fly solo? The answer, is contained in the proceeding comments from those saying go GA if RAA unable to help. An endorsement does not necessarily require you fly solo, so VH & CTA okay, with instructor on board.

    Control Column accessory mount - not used Two homemade damage resistant Transponder antenna - never used

    If the endorsement you want is not available, in your area, through RAA school, it may be with a GA provider. No brainer!
