MAB123

Hi 440032 Thanks for your blog After much searching the web I can't find anything on Sweet Apple props The designer got very sick (and as I understand he is no longer with us) the business had 2 owners after him and now has shut down . Can you forward to me any info you have on Sweet Apple props at [email protected] Thanks 

I am after some information on the correct way to mount a Sweet Apple prop on a Jabiru 120 We have one based on our airfield and there is several theories on the mounting bolts and type of washers to be used Flat or Belleville Washers

Or is it because they love to FLY

 

 

Good luck AZNA, the Jabiru is probably the cheapest plane to run, except for the fact that you can't leave it tied down outside.

Why can't it be tied down out side

Its called pre flight check or did your instructer forget to tell you it is your life in the seat and to check everything thing because the is MURPHY waiting for the time

 

 

Thanks to all . Every year we do a long trip the only place in Australia I haven't flown is the southern part of WA As I see it the best way is through SA than along the Nullabour Highway as this time I may be the only a/craft on this trip .Having said we do a long trip {about 30hrs} over 9 days all advise is useful

 

Thanks martin

 

 

Hi All I am planing a flight from Cairns to Jandakot I am having trouble finding fuel between Ayers Rock and Kalgoorie is there list out there of strips-A/fields with fuel that are not listed in Shell BP Mobil as they don't cater for the outback run by community/local council/ local supplier etc do you know of a list fuel stops out there I am flying a J230

 

 

AndrewDo you sell them made up?

 

Andy

Hi Andy would you like to purchase a ready made unit

MAB 123

 

 

I agree with the Doc I don't have anything to hide and I know of cases where planes have been sold because the purchaser noted the rego and followed up to buy the aircraft there is a lot of road rage so I can under stand the lack of car rego info

 

 

Hi Doc

 

Good to see all finished well

 

:plane:19-4916 is flying well Thanks

 

 

Hi Martin,Your alternator is an 18amp job and should be showing a positive charge well before 2000 rpm. Apart from checking all of the connections, including the earths etc etc.

 

The voltage reg/rectifier is a little underdone and can be replaced with a better unit ....

 

However it sounds more like your alternator is on its way out or already gone west. Take a look at the stator windings through the back of the stator holder inside the rotor and see if the windings look black or at least very dark brown. If they are black its a good bet you have lost a pole winding or two.

 

Unlike almost all motorcycle stators, the stator body is insulated which doesn't allow one to do the normal short circuit tests (finding continuity to the stator body from the output wires), which means you need to take a look at it and see if its had a melt down. I have seen one or two windings on the poles fused together after burning out and still showing some charge albeit marginal.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for that

 

The eng /A/frame has only done 40hrs since 2007 Ipurchased it with 35hrs in may this year 2011 and have had some small problems mainly because it has not been used I was expacting to spend some money on it due to the lack of use.

 

All looks good with the ault visual check what reg do you suggest as a replacement

 

Thanks Martin

 

 

So what is the answer to the problem

 

 

Jabs altenator is incorperated into the back of the engine flywheel so no belts.Something seems wrong as it should easily power what your indicating.

The lack of charge under 1700rpm seems normal, the regulation setup has been known to give trouble

 

OME is right regarding clean terminals and fittings.

HI Thanks I had alame look at it than I replaced the regulator which they said was faulty still having charging problems do you know if anybody has fitted an SD20 Ault to the vacuum mount

 

 

Hi All

 

This subject may have been addressed before i am new to the Jabiru fold any help would be good

 

I own a J230/430 with 3300 eng

 

I am having trouble with the aultinatior putting out enough power to run the EFIS ,GPS and Radio

 

it doesn't start charging until 2000rpm [plus] than struggles.

 

One suggestion is fit an SD20 ault which bolts on on the vacuum mount has this worked or can the existing Ault be rewound for more Amps

 

Thanks Martin
