There used to be an option on the jabs to have a low fuel light on the dash and a float in the header tank , but it had to be installed at the right height or it could come on prematurely , I had one installed on one jab I had but it was set to high in the tank and used to come on sometimes , ( scaries the passenger ) It's a good idea , if set right would give 20 ish mins of fuel remaining . I don't know if their still available . Cheers Mike

I've just done the CHT mod that jabiru recommend ,it gets rid of the 14 mm ring that goes under the spark plug that can let hot gas escape and give a high head temp reading . I was pleased that all my heads now read pretty even , I always had a high reading No3 due to leaking gas .(no more ) The mod is called ::: AVDALSR085-1 CHT mod It took about 40mins to do the 6 sensors , The hardest thing is snipping away the old 14 mm ring with sharp side cutters and not damaging the wire that's welded together at the ends .i just snipped away a bit at a time until it falls off the wire then crimping on the new ring . Cheers Mike.

That will work , On the 230 wing there are holes in the ribs , You don't have to take the wing off , At the wing root end ,after drilling a hole in the skin where you position your lights ,you'll Have to drill a small hole Into the end rib , as this is the only solid rib . Getting the string down through the wing is not difficult , you need somthing long and thin to attach the string to . I've joined a couple or three lengths of dowel , but you can use any thing stiff . Check photo of wing rib holes This is a 250 wing , the 230 wing is similar IDE go down the leading edge as there's no restriction all the way down . Cheers

Check if the balls in the middle with wings level in the cruise ,still air ,and fly it hands free , and check that the balls still level , if it goes out ,even a little , it's a rigging issue . Might be the ruder needs tweeking , or maybe a flap , It's a bit of a" think it through "situation ,but you can get it set spot on and I've found this helps no end to having balanced tanks . Cheers Mike

Carnt answer hypotheticals. I don't make the rules Cheers . As it stands now , if you want to go either Raa or VH ex . It's your choice , as long as your the builder . Cheers Mike . I don't think Raa 's going anywhere soon .

I'm pretty sure the only way that works is that you have to have been the builder and have an extensive builders log that will satisfy the casa appionted approved person that you truly were the builder ,reciepts , dates , invoices , ect .and the build is of a high standard Then you would have to do the casa maintaince coarse $ aprox 600. Ish (that's with the saaa.)first year member , ( gets cheeper with each year of membership ) The MTOW would be according to the model and year it was built Cheers Mike
