These are the silicone hose and alloy pipes on my 912ULS coolant setup. (Note the image of port side of engine is an old one and shows the black rubber hose, its changed to blue silicone years back and I'll get an up to date image.) The alloy coolant pipes are great and from Flylight Airsports in UK ; they are great and reduce the long lengths of hose that some people use. (The exhaust wrap is a mix of white and gold colour tape.)

Found using a forklift with wing on a mattress was perfect for removal and refitting wings. The springiness of the mattress allows for small movements to allow removal and refit into attachments. Then when inboard is connected use a jack to support to fit struts. Doing the 2,000 hourly wing bolts and some other things. New motor to go in next on this A32. First wing removed with 3 people, owner thought up using forklift and it's a winner. I’ll be using same when I do my Nynja wing upgrade in a few weeks.

This guy had tube for sale on 2nd January.

This is the Rotax reference for info as well. Rotax 912 ULS performance data.pdf

Best to contact the manufacturer or agent for upgrade info. For example early Foxbat 22's where high 400 kgs and with upgrades went to low 500's but unable to upgrade to 600kgs. The lower / earlier ones had metric fasteners and the 600 kg variants now have AN hardware and beefed up in other areas. Alos the 600kg Nynja have AN hardware in upgrade kits and thicker brackets, upgraded strut build and brace wire size. Seems LSA requires AN hardware now. Yours may be a similar situation, I don't know about them.

Looks like there was an option for a larger factory tank and the document was a general print version. Maybe worth contacting an agent or factory in Europe and they may have details of your aircraft build.

Any good LSA Sapphires out there for sale?
Blueadventures commented on KING's classified in Aircraft
This aircraft build similar to the Saphire was available a year ago, have you looked at it before?
-
Make a nut from 3mm flat and tap thread. Will work.
-
Also does the log and other paper work contain its original or a recent w&b; if not try RAA maybe to get a copy if they can provide it. Some paperwork is only available to the first owner sometimes.

ADSB rebate question
Blueadventures replied to Lyndon's topic in Instruments, Radios and Electronics
Needs to be installed and signed off and includes rego marks etc. -
Absolutely agree, don't really like the valve but there should I need to stop fuel to engine etc. So have it in checklist twice, for before engine start and pre take-off roll with Mag and all other checks. Always work off list not memory. Been involved in too many crew incidents and other external investigations where compliancy and failure to perform checks was the factor. The cable tie is there to prevent inadvertent contact closing the valve and to keep fully opened.

What panel is usual in the aircraft? For info I used the Dymo Lable printer with the white print on black for my panel and it looks ok.
-
Maybe not, the switch was held on because, maybe the door switch needs to held on so the electrical circuit closed to allow entry as when let go it goes open circuit (perhaps so cannot be inadvertently left in the unlocked mode. I not a commercial pilot so just a guess.
-
Just realised I was to post an image. Fitted a fuel tap on engine side of pump. It has a cable tie to ensure on, slide back to turn off and I check it is on twice before take-off in my checks.

Got a new reinforced flap handle on Monday as required as part of the 600kg upgrade and fitted it today. Plan in about 4 weeks to remove wings to fit the upgraded brackets and the brace wires of the 600kg kit. Then get a w&b done and test fly to verify the 600kg POH prepared by the factory to update for my aircraft.

This is the bracing (Fly and cross) for our Northern Queensland ratings.
-
The rafter bracing is what I referred to as Fly straps and the back side space on both sides would be cross braced and also the front ones,
-
No fly straps or cross bracing that we have in North Queensland for cyclone rating. Cross bracing would have helped stop it falling back.
-
No different to crossing a busy street; aircraft landing and taking off being the traffic and the helo being the pedestrian wanting to cross; in a sort of way. Same caution before crossing, also looking before entering runway to taxi back track.

Is over your way, this is UK available. Don't apply over any stickers. I go around all mine, details of use will be in the instructions. Cheers. Post an image of your bird in the Skyranger forums under a new topic say 'UK Skyrangers'. Best Regards.

As at times your wrong, as he only used Starbrite which is a sort of acid based cleaner for stains, what I posted is perfect for a detail and surface protection, the. See what’s still there and the UK guys will has good advice.

URGENT - I need 25+ Cessna Towbars made
Blueadventures replied to Admin's topic in Site Announcements
Ian was getting them made, I sold mine to a LAME. -
Agree, talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. A test fine polish cut would be all and some different shades would still exist. Do it on boat hulls all the time. The old rego numbers show due to the gel coat having been shaded by the numbers. Attached is what I posted that I use.

The Air Traffic Controller will need a lot of support; not good if doing two persons task; which was their priority / rostered task and covering another at the same period due to short staff level; will be interesting to hear about. RIP and support to all involved and affected.

Its the way classifieds sets your location as UK. Try posting a classified without posting your actual address and not posting a bodgy one.
