    Just guessing that it may effect; you could do a move engine back on mount as 1st stage and only fit a spacer if you find its needed. Then always have the original boom tube on aircraft.
  2. Blueadventures
    Could you move the engine back on the existing mount (should be straightforward), to get that mass towards the datum and put a spacer on the prop assembly to keep the thrust effect in same orientation? (Would save cutting a bit off the end; engine moved back 20mm fit 20mm spacer to prop.)

    Would cleaning around and scratching the surface around and use some epoxy or devcon etc to hold the nut. An image of the location would be good or dill a hole into the side face and insert a rod to hold it 3, 3.5 or 4mm diameter say.

    Nice, will you have a display aircraft at Parkes in April?

    Business opportunity????

    Take means pay for one; 'NICK' would mean steal🤪

    Agree, that's what my reply was saying rudder use and speed increase.
  8. Blueadventures
    All good. I’m more saying reaction to a wing drop late in circuit to land.
  9. Blueadventures
    I will take one.

    My read of the post was that at 150 feet above ground level and short final wing dropped and applied some aileron. I took that as late final (close to threshold) and slow approaching stall then wing drop. My understanding is don't use aileron; use rudder to pick up wing and at same time get speed by either lower nose or throttle more rpm or both. The use of aileron will add to stall of one wing; won't end well if stalling is in progress.

    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.
  12. Blueadventures
    Skyfox is the same; however sealed tubes not open.
  13. 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.
  20. Blueadventures
    It does 4,6,8 and Ford Rangers with the 5cyl pay as a 6 for rego.
  21. Blueadventures
    Yep; aways a 50/50 guess; either a Cessna or a Non-Cessna.
  22. Blueadventures
    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.
  24. Blueadventures
    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.
