    Thanks, Nail polish is ok but cross check is best and lasts. Torque seal goes off over time so I don't use that any more. Cheers and look forward to if you can get it. I'll hold off buying until I hear if you can get.
  2. Blueadventures
    Skyfox is the same; however sealed tubes not open.
  3. Blueadventures
    Ian can you provide CrossCheck tubes in Red. I will need another tube soon and see they are $25 including postage on Ebay. I'm sure others would by such. Cheers.

    And then do same with ACF50 at times say twice a year.

    They will be styling the words for the audience. There will be at least three types out there; those who won’t take much notice (been there before and ok), those who hit the full panic button and those who adhere to the advice and prepare, leave etc. And then after the fact the critics start. All part of living theses days.

    No not 'B' that's a cockroach killer. Try again.

    Must have seen that cowboy film were the Sherrif lived because the bullet hit his tin star; they could not be Navy as they don't make life jacket that bouyant.

    This experience and your response will be a good additional request to your instructor at next BFR; even consider an early BFR. I'm not an instructor and my head plan / response includes an increase in approach speed above usual for cross wind and gusting situations and on final keep on top of ASI numbers (glance every now and then especially late final if the airfield is short) and the windscreen picture and any movement of wing is corrected with rudder.

    Rounding up 101.

    It does 4,6,8 and Ford Rangers with the 5cyl pay as a 6 for rego.
  11. Blueadventures
    Yep; aways a 50/50 guess; either a Cessna or a Non-Cessna.

    Maybe the actual process costing is what two seaters pay and they give some cost relief for the single seat owners as they can't afford a second seater🤪😇

    With my rotax 912 ULS 100hp before nose over to cruise or if still in a long climb to a high altitude (say to clear mountain height, etc) after about minute or two I will reduce rpm from maximum by at least 100 rpm. Then settle on planned / desired cruise speed.

    I would email the company. From what you say your getting pulse from engine with rpm showing. I would also verify 12 volts to the + post. I had an issue with a gauge and most helpful with trouble shooting and then a replacement arranged with floods. Roberto was the owner at the time 7 years ago. 110% product backup.

    Skyfox with different wing profile would get there. In fact Bob Llewellyn had designed a better wing; a mate up here who knows him was speaking with him about building the wing and fitting to my Ca21 Skyfox and he sign off to trial the wing performance, but this did not happen.

    Blaniks are fun to spin, provided those Red Bull loonies have not been at them... They sure were and fun fly over all. Had a L13-A1 VH-GPS one and miss having it; it’s still flying in NSW. One of the few in the world.

    Was planned back in 2013 but priced out of market. Refer by Rob at Coastal Aviation.

    I would expect his training was to a point in time when he did his solo and further training would have been required that included further solos then maybe x/c, Passenger etc. Wonder if he gained L1 ? Outside of any training he made a decision to fly.
  19. Blueadventures
    even 19 reg?

    Thanks Mark; no have not been looking at any constant speed IFA prop videos. I'll have a look in a few days as keen to see effect of pitch change to coarser but for me can only relate to performance on a Nynja. If E=Props have a specific Nynja IFA review I'd be keen to view. Not ever looking at a glorious prop at this stage very happy with ground adjustable. Spoke to Neil up here and will assist him with his prop on the Bristelle he has the paper work and mass weight for his plane now just needs some bolts for it. Cheers.

    The props are designed for 5,500rpm (the November video is very misleading for other than STOL comp performance with its 6,000rpm talk as I set mine for 5,800 and performance dropped 10 - 12 knots; could not make 100 kts at WOT S&L where as the 5,500 rpm setting would make 108 kts) I don't understand why this is so as I thought the 5,800 Take off rpm would be the 98hp and 5,500 rpm is about 90 hp. Have today reset pitch for 5,500 rpm so will fly tomorrow and should be back to where it was. The reason I set the rpm first was mainly due to always aiming for 5,500 to 5,600 rpm WOT S&L. The manual for E-Props said 5,500 rpm best and also said to set prop for 5,100 to 5,800 rpm static. This lead me to try it at 5,800 rpm. Big FAIL result; so just set for 5,500 rpm and leave there. 110% happy with the E-Prop and great value for money and good for 4,000 hours. Posted to share my experience; Cheers.

    Could weld a side pipe on the mount area and cut that original section out of the mount; that will give necessary clearance. Looks like the header passes through a 'V' shape of mount piping. Limited view in the image I saw.

    Applications can be made from 9 February 2024. A step in right direction.

    Is this of assistance MARAP-Rotax-05-001 RPT01 lssue 01 Engine Condition Monitoring Program by RAAus?
