  1. No not yet , we have wait for a good internet signal day out here ! Most days i carnt even post on the forum , most irritating !.
  2. What a great effort from Adam , young guy , just gone solo , a real enthusiest , Its effort like this that been sadly missing from our ranks , Adam is interested in anything aviation and is ready to talk to anyone , Its realy fun although a bit daunting , knowing your being recorded , If you've got something aviation to say , give him a ring , just to have a chat , His editing skills will amaze you , I found after 40 mins of waffling on , hes able to make you sound , not half bad !. Cheers Mike
  3. My 95 mogas was a bit stale after a week of realy hot 40 ish + . Now i think about it my old 2200 i had a few years ago did the same on 95 ??? I wonder if the small tips of the iridium plugs make them more susceptible to running on ??
  4. Seems like the catch can should be at the engine end, then the hose from the can to the outlet sloping back to let the oil drain back into the bottle . Think ill try this . Mike
  5. I got mine of ebay , $14 , checked yesterday and there $ 18 each free postage from melbourne The search ; ngk iridium dr9eix . These are for the jabiru
  6. The reason i thought the mod was a good one is no more oil streaking , and on the avocet that means oil over the tail feathers , It works that well , i dont know why they dont come out like that , unless the oil flowing back into the sump is deemed harmfull to the engine ?
  7. A also , do you think that LCH and iridium plugs are not compadable ?
  8. No , ive removed the under plug and have attached as per jab mod for cht 6 sensers , im inclined to think that a spout of 40 deg days evaperated all the octain out of the 95 mogas , Ive drained all fuel and awaiting some avgas ,
  9. Yes , it sounds like whichcraft , but it does work , I had a 2200 that spued oil , and it was suggested to me to try this mod . Needles to say , it works , but how , i dont fully understand , Ive run the the Avocet for 60 hrs , 3 oilchanges , and not one drop of oil , Just water , which evaporates between flights . Mike Ps Its a simple mod to try , and see for yourself ,
  10. I just use a hose clamp and the the rubber hose " crushes" on to the pipe ok , You could use a piece of original hose as a stop gap , but ive found just clamping the larger dia 17/19mm ID works ok .
  11. Regarding oil in the bottle , Fit a larger hose dia , 19 mm from the breather to the bottle , dont wory about the smaller outlet at the dipstick end , The the larger hose reducces the pressure in the pipe ie less oil in the bottle , works great , have done it to three jab engins , and you only end up with water in the bottle , Wyane Jons put me on to this .
  12. Ive been running them in the LCH 3300. Definatly easyer starting , but im not sure how they can make an engine run cooler ??? Last time i flu , about 3 weeks ago , the engine" ran on "on shut down , i put it down to stale mogas? Or maybe glowing tips on the iridium plugs ?
  13. Our first 3d printer purchase was fully refunded by p/pall after 2 weeks from complaint . garrenteed when you use p/ pall .
  14. Sounds like the Asprin thats been emailing me about the Avocet for the the last 18 months or so , keeps telling me hes coming to do some buisines , strings you along , keeps giving dates of arival , then nothing for months , then pops up again all excited , asks for photoes , then nothing again , These people are nothing more than Arswipes !

    Iridium plugs

    NGK or NKG ? ON E BAY I think the NKGis a cheep jeneric ? Found the same with cooper & coopers filters ?
  16. I was flying above the building!!!! Top that ugly!
  17. Thats how i ended up with a french wife : all those years ago , still good . Mike
  18. I made the mistake of photoing the avocet build , plugs , layups ect , but LOST it all , not backed up . Now i use the i clould for back up , got the rebuild though ! I still shead a tear if i think about it to much ! Mike.
  19. Thats one reason i moved from QLD to SA
  20. As far as im concerned you can have the whole police force standing around with hands in pocket . Better there than lurking behind a bush waiting to nab someone for doing 2 ks over . Cops think everyones a suspect , eaven amongst their own ranks ( latest shite from the tv ) As far as wasting tax $ I heard eack cop cost .20 c a day to run Just saying . A mate got booked and said to the cop ; your wasting my tax $ , Cop reached into his pocket and gave him his .20 c back , and booked him.
  21. Just imagine a "womens " section in the RAA mag , Also , did i see " bedroom toys " as well ? I personally think the way this is set up to work on a mobile phone needs a look Just a critique , Not a critacisim . Mike
  22. Im humming to myself : MONEY ... Du du du , da da ( pink floid ) Probly hum it all day !
  23. I phone 5 , go to the compas App and see the inclinometre on the other page
  24. Bruce , the one in bundy you mentioned was a j200 or 230 19 xxxx I spoken to the crew who picked up what was left , in a bucket ! Another poor wiring job in a home built , ( not saying any thing about the sonex , )
  25. Ide have a guess at that , Building a new innovated design ends up being the easy part ! Its what comes next is the game changer . Mike
