    The cylinder fins look turned 90 degrees to the air flow and looks like the coolant jacket extends under the head onto the upper area of the cylinder. very different to the lower hp version I've seen reviews on. Thanks for post.

    If question is about my posts reference to weight it was referring to the additional material at the forward end on the case (crankcase) that would allow for more distance between the two bearing there to add better support and that would mean the prop adaptor flange and its spacing to be shortened as explained by Paul. I reckon you would enjoy a day or two in Pauls workshop; I know I would. Cheers.
  3. Blueadventures
    Definitely a good development; however will add a little weight which may be offset by the shorter less mass of the prop flange / spacer.

    The early billet one Paul is working on in his shop has a cracked crank and the recall is on the newer ones which have a forged crankshaft.
  5. Blueadventures
    Not sure, but is is connected to were billet now forged?

    Its close; received message that will be approved to fly early next week. We've had short weeks and school holidays over here so expected possible delay. Didn't matter much two weeks ago as weather was horrible, great now. I'll post when I have paperwork back. Thanks for asking, Cheers.

    The P3 does not have a mess inside when used just a thin dried coating. (Skippy message not for your viewing; so don't get up tight about the fact that it is not my tube / tyre I'm talking about; I don't want you concerned that its not personal experience / ownership of the tubes😇.) The tyres I'm talking about are not ply rated but advertised as like 4ply in strength. Thread depth is 3mm. The Sava type on Wagga Bike and Tyres webb site. For sure a heaver thicker 6 ply tyre would be better. Yes the 3 corners get us for sure. I carry two spare tubes for this reason to fit a new tube, need to ensure no thorn or thorns in tyre before fitting.

    I'll let Ben know you are inquiring in case he does not see your question.

    Skip; I've shared what I know, Your detail is piss poor as you don't bother to share the brand you used with success. You often do this when you push for detail off myself and others, you need to lift your game or exit. As for your comments running down my information you can keep your opinion to yourself. For others I can assure them that the information is as good as top shelf RD testing by an approved authority, and I'll back in the effectiveness of the Motul P3 product for flat tubed tyres.
  10. Blueadventures
    I have detailed my knowledge of the P3 product in the earlier post and in the other thread. It would be helpful to all if you could update your post with the product brand detail of what you used. You have omitted this information.

    It contains a flammable propellant; there is a safety data sheet for it. It works very well I'm told by a reliable person who has used two cans on at least two occasions as he fly's a Nynja at an airfield that has thorns in the grass.
  12. Blueadventures
    Wal about $450-

    I am set up to fix flat tyres when flying solo; so have a jack (0.5kg by Peter Anson Engineering), two bottles of repair foam for tubed tyres (0.3kg each), two tubes, tube repair kit, spare valves and removal tool and the necessary tools to remove wheel and disassemble the wheel; and a pump. Mine is split rims and easy to get apart. I've been involved with Savannah tyre changes and re tubing and there are a problem to get tyre bead off the rim, real hard and near impossible. I say be able to do solo as you need to get wheel off the ground and a rock under the leg if you don't have a jack or a support. The P3 is great for a quick fix, get you going and about $26 a can.

    What head sets do you use and will you try Ian's to compare with yours.
  15. Blueadventures
    Yep, at Oshkosh last year. I'm basic with a 3 person tent.

    Under wing camp setup example; for comfort:)

    Yes spelling / typo, key board operator error. Yep, however interesting to hear factual decisions. In Queensland back in the day My boss would share and I'd see directly the poor decisions and associated blame game involving the Chief Health office and Premier etc. My Boss came up with a solution / check system questionnaire procedure about ship arrivals, got laughed at by his peers and the GM; however it worked, then Victoria waterside wanted the Queensland system so ports could receive / move ships. Much later all credit given to and taken by others in south east corner. Thats how the world goes round.

    The minutes release between Health and Dan's cabinet is finally showing the diver of the lock downs.

    I guess its along the lines that if you have an accident your inexperience (not gaining certificate after required training and solo hours) could be a contributing factor. Seems fair as the training school aircraft should be in good airworthy condition and after the solo hours you will be better experienced.
  20. Blueadventures
    Hopefully an instructor can advise the rules about this. I may be incorrect with the following; I believe that the initial training to solo and certificate is to be on a factory aircraft. Then subsequent endorsements may be in a 19 aircraft that you own; and its up to the instructor if they are happy to fly in such aircraft. I may be incorrect here so await knowledgeable advice. Cheers.

    I'm endorsed for Grey Xair's for grass and beach strips

    What number of hours did they what you to get to? Another 5 or more? Maybe someone at Clifton might have time to fly the hours off for you; maybe even relocate there for a period. The nice flying weather is starting now so the air will be best.
  23. Blueadventures
    From your image face plane towards the big door. Have prop line just forward of the drain grate line. Chock the wheels good, maybe even level up the lower main wheel. Add a double securing with rope or a strap to a secure point behind the plane so it does not travel forward when engine running. This way you won't pick up any stones or rocks.

    No harm in a windsock for spray drift indication, like people have Lighthouses in their front yard and no ship movement there; also windmills and not pumping from bores. Just erect one and have a couple of kites on the wall in your shed. The wind sock will assist in launching the kites.

    Also don't go to the movies there wearing a 'T' shirt saying "My name is Dillinger" 🎯
