    hi yes the J120 is now with a new owner near canberra . i`m currently waiting for the arrival of a J160 i was always wondering if there was any benifits to fitting in place of the jabiru plastic offering which was an improvement on the wooden one .having the pitching better matched to the motor requirements with a C/S type in the various phases of the flight

    hi all i think about these mods from time to time are any of you running a fuel injection system which type ? was it worth the change ? has anyone tried a C/S prop conversion any benefits? which one did you use ? there doesn`t seem to be the interest in replacing the carburetor

    yes all the comments on checking fuel qty before flight is a no-brainer check before you fly but the point of this post is the popular past time of removing fuel from aircraft`s & all the damage /loss/stress that one can be confronted with when you arrive at airport to go for a quick fly & then you may need to repair your aircraft or replace fuel this doesn`t put you in a good mental space to go flying . so i have had to go the costly path of a DETTERENT to keep my plane safe so i can just check & fly without a constant repair everytime i wanted to fly

    hi yes i have also been the victim of fuel & damage at my remote home hangar i had to get the plane out of there until i have installed a deterrent device called a "sound barrier " which i believe will save me further damage loss . reports in our local paper of similiar device when its suspected use by russia & china on american diplomats produced mysterious dibilitating side effects requiring medical assistance (not permanent ) this i hope will convince them of the error of their ways

    hi all i have a J120 jab so share the frustration of my fellow pilots but my research has led my to use the following set- up : 1-MGL FF-4 fuel flow meter which has fuel flow virtual tank & GPS for real time fuel calculations currently ( i also check the no`s manually ) i will fit an Ultrasonic probe to my existing MGL FF-4 fuel flow meter ( to give fuel level rather than virtual tank ) then all the calculations will happen real time on gauge The Radiant LCD fuel gauges, coupled with the Radiant Perfect Fuel Probe (an Ultrasonic probe) they also make a LLwarning sensor (an Ultrasonic probe) of which i had the earlier ver. fitted but need to up-grade as was damaged in recent vandal attack older ver repl. obsolete. the Radiant Perfect Ultrasonic Fuel Probe will adapt to most avail fuel gauges as well so can be fitted to existing set-up`s i hope my knowledge /research is of some help to those considering option s & how to decide going forward lyle

    i made the decision while cammit were still around to replace with there dipstick so easy to read level was basically the same with a flat end with a whole bunch of fine holes in flat end in which oil stuck to indicate level so much easier to see level sadly they aren`t around anymore i guess you could mod the jab 1

    hithis certainly looks like the answer but the exchange rate would kill the idea for anybody but the rich a lot of work gone into the idea but not much use if you can`t get them to the masses lyle

    hiyou need to get an alt supply from using switch -mode this is where the electrical noise is being generated & impossible to regulate , also a std usb port will not neccessarily charge an apple correctly it needs to be an apple savvy port lyle
  23. lyle janke
    hi i have exactly the same problem it is exactly as suggested . but getting a port that doesn`t generate noise & will charge an ipad is nigh impossible (apple need special port specs to charge )so if someone could build a powered -port for i-pad they would have a winner lyle

    hi this will gain popularity if there is local marketing dealer for sales parts etc an ignition up-garde to dual spark sys would be advantageous would certainly give jabiru / rotax a run for their money if all were on a level playing field

    hi i have something similiar on drawing board instead using 200lit drum . the pump used if it is an e-bay issue is not sealed & is advertised as diesel only . the blue e-bay model is listed as suitable for petrol but has a disclaimer "not to be used to pump avgas" what is the difference to normal fuel?? or is it a legal issue what would 1 need to to modify to overcome legal issues for private use ? the only issue that come to mind immediately is static /earthing issues with pump/installation . the pump already has an extra threaded hole on body of pump so i thinks manufacturer already uses this pump in an aviation environment elswhere . my research so far identifies the main delivery fuel hose also as being an issue . is the e-bay version suitable for an aviation environment & able to disperse static build-up maybe change hose to suitable version & create earthing to unit & problem solved any thoughts as to whether i`m on right track any aviation units i`ve found are more than double the price & make the task of refuelling not cost effective any more for the casual flyer who wants to get away from fumbling with gerry cans lyle
