Need longer bolts for the mounts as no thread protruding and what is the spacer under the oil banjo for? Any images of the mount to firewall fixing?

Happy New Year to all. Fitted in first fly for 2024 this morning between the rain showers. IMG_9922.mov

Up to their QA, QC etc systems. I expect a follow-up about the matter. Parading them before the shareholders would be interesting.

A couple of people will be getting called into (invited to) the office.

But such always confuses my simple mind🤪

Agree as it links the answer / question to a reply. Good helpful advice. Cheers.

You can buy electric carb heat devices from Xair in Ireland. I fitted these to my 912 in a Nynja. Best to have and use carb heat. Had a carb ice experience on another 912 UL aircraft, not fun and don’t want ever again.

Merry Xmas to everyone and your family; have a nice festive time. Cheers Mike

Switch at top right above gauges.

On my ULS engine oil temp is always higher than the CHT temp. usually about 8 degrees C. I also have a two position toggle for CHT feed from #2 and #3 heads and these read differing temps (one gauge and I can select temp source).

Thanks; had same in mind. Just never been over there so now looking forward, flights next and have cousins over there to visit before or after.

Confirmed non air con room at uni Wisconsin and on wait list to upgrade to air con room if/when available. What happens if you buy a gauge say a $1000 US item; do we pay a duty when arriving back here? Cheers

ATSB report out now; missed selecting fuel tank that contained fuel and a contributing factor was not recording fuel usage and tank contents. Bugger when it happens.

That conrod looks cooked (wrist pin end)? (Heat treatment or out of a cooked engine?; looks interesting to me.) Hopefully an aero engine in the future.

Maybe in Croc mode; they can see you but you can't see them🙃

Nice flying; just trying to kiss the stb wing tip trailing edge with the spinner.

I take it that that is the reply on behalf of members and that individual members may have the same, slightly different or vastly different opinions. Ben does a very good job with his comments and gives opinion and his knowledge of evidence in chunks so it can be further commented on if needed. And considering his recent accident I believe people must give him greater credit for his effort and thank the team that are with him.

Outlanding strips everywhere. Nice.

Agree, years back when I had the Skyfox Ca21 I had to make a throttle lock to maintain the throttle at idle setting with a padlock securing it to meet the requirement.

I have a throttle lock fitted and both doors secured with a lock.

I don't like it, looks like a flock of fruit bats flew over it.

I hear very little tree damage at site and tail slipping down the slope so very inaccessible location. Pretty much tail followed nose in. Was at 5,500 above and possibly orbiting looking for a hole as had phoned to get vis report at destination about 20 miles from crash site. Two independent persons at different locations reported hearing the impact. Don’t have any other info. Awaiting further info and hopefully a detailed investigation findings.

But you would not be allowed outside; air side of hangar doors.

I'll come together for you. Follow the video should be a good start. Brakes can test your patience at times, know this from experiences; many over the years.

I recall a guy Bob Hyman (not sure of spelling maybe Hynam) build two. One in Canada and one in Rockhampton; I watched its first flight and it went great. Flight was at the Central Queensland Gliding Club. He was an RAA instructor with a Drifter. sandman on this forum also had a drifter there and may have a contact for bob; send him a pm.
