  1. Also worth looking at the level of calliper as if bleeder is not highest point air will be trapped at top; so need to remove remove calliper and turn to have bleeder at highest point insert a spacer if cannot place over disk while continuing to bleed. Need to do this at first on the Skyranger original brakes.
  2. I do brakes the old car way a short (200mm) hose into a small baby food glass jar. Small amount of fluid in it so end always submerged. Depress brake, open nipple then flow and close and then repeat. Works well.
  3. Here are my covers for fuel tank vent and pitot. A mud wasp started building on my pitot cover.
  4. I've just renewed my ASIC, bit poorer; but hey I can wear it and walk around full of importance and superiority😁🙃😎🤠🤓
  5. Maybe doesn't want to add any extra Kg's as 230's seem to only have about 130kgs for pilot, pax and cargo after full fuel at 600kg MTOW.
  6. I do full D.I. and use checklist / reminder aide memoir to assist in preventing complaincy.
  7. Welcome and look forward to your refurb story and images. Cheers
  8. Some one there will be more than capable to hook up the yellow wire and fuse etc.
  9. Is there a gliding club nearby, if so ask who does their maintenance work. They may assist.
  10. Good info. Not being familiar with Jabs I'll await experienced comment. I have read that Jab 3300 Reg output is 14V + - (0.4V) so 13.2 to 14.8V. Haven't seen any alternator output ac voltage info. Hope this sheds light on your issue. Also a ground run-in sheet for your engine needs to show AC volts at 2800rpm so this data and specs should be out there.
  11. Maybe a plate, container / lid or thin cutting board. Anything that is flat from an automotive parts store or big W etc. Even lay up some mat and epoxy in a couple of layers and use hole saw to fabricate the washers.
  12. Easy enough to make with a hole saw. Maybe even a Wad Punch set. Try hole saw first out on 1mm nylon sheet. Cheers.
  13. Yeah mate, No. Just shows my poor IT skills. I tried all I knew even copied and inverted the image and it still displayed upside down. If a moderator can invert I'll be happy.
  14. Had a great fly this morning for WUFI day with Sandy. Perfect spring weather.

  16. I have a brand new valve, it was with the kit. Don't like the fact could / will develop a leak so never fitted it. It's in my parts box; would not bother fitting one myself. Better in my opinion to use two spanners and new crush washer. Not much time saving really at end of day. I respect other's opinion on the matter though.
  17. You can go to the Maps (above the bottom band, left side look above there are three icons; tap the right one) That will open the Maps list; tap VFR box top right, then individually select what you want eg VTC etc. I just download Hybrid VFR from the earlier screen. Learn to use it as it is great for VFR. don't give up. Cheers.
  18. Maybe disconnect that while you are trouble shooting; if fused just pull that fuse.
  19. Any 5volt usb outlets in use? If so post images of where they are.
  20. Maybe post some images of under the dash and engine compartment, showing the wiring and the items there.
  21. Have you worked through this section of the Jabiru manual 'Radio Frequency (RF) Noise Reduction'?
  22. Have you read their manual about radio interference? They mention about the need to have all wires through firewall as shielded wire.
  23. Long shot here; are your ignition ground wires shieled and the shield grounded at only one end?
