    Have room confirmed and it's an air conditioned one. Are the rooms secure for leaving belonging in? Just waiting to here back from cousins over there as may arrive in USA before so over the jet lag thing. Will sort visa's soon.

    And good jumpers.

    Thanks, appreciate your advice including not to make a full height alloy bracket at its back as would shield the antenna function. Cheers.

    Getting ready for a recent flight dropped off screen and jammed in right seat rudder pedals; don’t want to ever happen during takeoff or in flight so I’ll never use suction mount again; hence the fixed mount.
  5. Blueadventures
    Mounted now.

    I have made a fixed mount for my SkyEcho 2 rather than use the suction cap mount as it came loose twice. I will attach this mount so the SE2 is in its appropriate orientation and above the panel location. I made the top half in perspex so it does not shield the SE2 internal antenna setup. Will be installing it in the Nynja tomorrow.

    Its a idea I have had for a few years. Rather than new battery that fits in the unit just have wires that can hook up to the relevant voltage. (Don't know the voltage) Need to turn off when found or asked by RCC. This would be an additional item to the required compliant unit.
  8. Blueadventures
    Must remember the test switch is only advising the circuit works and there is battery life. It does not advise if the battery will perform for the required 24 hours minimum for a PLB and Epirbs are 48 hours. Best to replace on time as you may need it's 24 hour plus performance one day; hopefully not. What may be a good idea would be to have and expired one hooked up to the required voltage through a voltage reduction off the aircraft battery; just saying food for thought as may be a life saving backup???

    Reports coming in about a Japan Airlines aircraft erupting into flames on landing and reports all person evacuated. May have collided with another aircraft. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjcuPDFur6DAxU0kq8BHfRIC40QvOMEKAB6BAgfEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.net.au%2Fnews%2F2024-01-02%2Fplane-erupts-into-flames-as-it-lands-at-tokyo-airport%2F103280258&usg=AOvVaw3oKszXq9w4AkDr0AtIimp4&opi=89978449 A Japan Airlines plane was in flames as it landed on a runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday evening. Footage on broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft and beneath it. The runway was also set alight. The plane, which had taken off from Sapporo, collided with a coast guard plane, NHK said, citing authorities. All 379 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, media reports quoted the airline as saying.

    You mention ed a tube or something about being added up the center of the rubber mounts? Have you added these. I replaced the engine mount rubbers on a friends Skyranger and they have a steel tube in the centre of the rubber mount and the rubbers slide inside themselves. May assist preventing distortion.
  11. Blueadventures
    Could even TIG some thin wall tube to the appropriate size washer to make a cup washer. Worth a try will retain rubber insitsu.
  12. Blueadventures
    How would some purpose made cup washers go at retaining the rubber shape and compressibility better?

    Flight finished after 9am Queensland time (no daylight saving up here, we like that or curtains don't fade too much.)
  14. Blueadventures
    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
  16. Blueadventures
    Up to their QA, QC etc systems. I expect a follow-up about the matter. Parading them before the shareholders would be interesting.
  17. Blueadventures
    A couple of people will be getting called into (invited to) the office.
  18. Blueadventures
    But such always confuses my simple mind🤪
  19. Blueadventures
    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.
  23. Blueadventures
    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.
  25. Blueadventures
    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
