It is not easy to keep the nose wheel up on the Nynja, like Nev says its to do with the main undercarriage axle location. You will see the the Savannahs for example land and the nose wheel is easy to hold up; so their mains axle is further forward. I have seen Savs low on fuel and loaded with cargo sit down on their tail; and this would be the lighter nose wheel weight and the mains axle pivot point and the mass of cargo behind the axle.

Nynja is Nose 78kg and mains 221kg

You could fit a Hobbs meter running of regulator 'L' terminal, if you do you could run the hobbs off 12 volts and bring it uo to your engines current hours; then all readings will be accurate.

Thanks KG; felt I was missing something. Regards Mike

Not sure re watts required. On a 12 volt system 18W would be 1.5A and 12.5W would be just over 1A. Therefore a 2.4A Supply will be enough?

All good Neil; I was just asking a question. Just checking if there was to be a check that the portable unit is mounted correctly. I was in gliding when the Flarm units were introduced and they could be mounted incorrectly and impair performance (eg in a metal glider could be mounted with antenna upright and next to a canopy frame (aluminium) and it would shield / reduce markedly performance. I am watching the development and performance of the equipment. Best Regards.

Just working off SE2 price around $1,020 ea

Hi KG Is your 3.5 a plugin unit to a cigarette type 12v socket or a panel mounted unit?

I can see a definite need of an aircraft power supply to charge or keep the unit's internal battery charge topped up; as when on overnight or longer trips it may be inconvenient to charge the unit. I see there are plugin USB 5 volt outlets that are rated 3A so will work if they require 2.5A (I have not read the required charge or working AMP draw in info I have read.) At this stage I am not going to purchase or apply to the grant. It seems meeting the requirement of authorised fitting cost would exceed the $500 or so of the grant (am I correct in thinking this way.) Our LAME at Mackay absolutely hates RAA aircraft and anything connected to them. I have commented that it will be interesting when RAA 760Kg comes in and they have to be maintained by LAME. I have got on ok with him in past and his opinion seems to be from what he has seen with missed servicing and poor servicing of RAA fleet aircraft and the owner maintenance done.

Starting on an armrest for between the seats. Chris with the NT now SA based Nynja made a similar one so I'll try one out. It will hinge up and be supported by a wire at the hight that's comfortable. Using 10mm ply and two WDG14 pipe clamps. Other image is what a guy in the UK did.

Maybe if bonding is epoxy resin; coating with everdure (epi dure) would be worth considering as it is a thin epoxy resin type mixture used in timber boat building. First coat is thinned and next a as mixed (two equal part mixture) Prevent rot and seals and strengthens the timber. Product info - International Everdure is a clear two pack epoxy-based material that can be used as a wood saturation system to help harden, densify and seal out moisture. Compatibility. I use it all the time great stuff for boats.

The ATSB report would be only one piece of evidence that I would expect the Coroner would have requested and heard before making the determination.

Do they have a suitable usb 5 volt converter. Jay car sell a 3 amp single outlet usb that can plug into cigarette lighter type outlet. Maybe a noisy unit that requires some after purchase mod. I did a dual 2.1amp usb with RF's info and its good now. Bit fiddly to solder the capacitors onto two of the 4 positions.

Came with the kit marked MS20001-3.

The Nynja has a mil spec aluminium hinges on the door hinge points upper piece opens up (can be opened up to 70 knots) and lower piece opens forward. I have full length hinges on both locations. If yo look in the Skyranger thread and then in New Nynja to area you will see the hinge in most videos on that site. The more recent videos are super wide setting so will show the most of the hinge.

Fence wire both sides of prop hub so fence has been involved to some extent; maybe only the flip over.

That will allow easy convenient installation of the part I described. I didn't have time to confirm the flow direction. Cheers

Its grabbed a wire fence and interesting grass and dirt port side front of cowl.

Mark You could make up a short alloy pipe to place in the 17mm hose on the top of engine for the coolant and weld a female piece to take a sensor and fit it into one of those pipe. Not sure of flow direction so better in a hose leaving a head coolant outlet to radiator. Let me now what you think. Also such a fitting could be fitted to any Rotax 912 and then you could compare the temp with the coolant temp gauge in the test aircraft. Also even the LPG alloy rod brazing method may work to place the female alloy piece into the 17mm o.d. pipe 'T' piece. Hope this explanation is understandable. Cheers.

Engine Hobbs meter power is taken of the 'L' terminal of the Rotax regulator. My Airspeed switch is a UMA Instruments model 17-800 series and it is connected to another Hobbs meter. (On my unit I found the factory wiring diagram was incorrect and had to wire positive 12 volt feed to 'B' and ground to 'A'; so just check and keep in mind if anyone fits this unit.) Hope this is helpful to any builds. Cheers

Only a few I believe. Sold as a tri gear. Like MIke G said between a Foxbat 22 / 32 is an accurate description of performance. It seems main construction difference is the forward diagonal tube to to forward undercarriage hinge point.

Mondays flight a section of a 1.5 hour fly to the north of the home airfield. Including a fly along a local creek at 500 feet in south westerly winds.

Took the Nynja for a fly along the coast to see where the clean water was and the extent of the dirty muddy water due to the big tides; then did a run up Reliance Creek at 500 feet with a bit of south westerly wind blowing.

Yep, Mangrove M.

Flew for 1.5 hours today with mini ipad on charge and no noise so all good. Didn't think to also put iphone on charge , will next time. I did change the usb to each of the sockets and all good. Thanks again for info.
