    Can an alternator be fitted to a Rotax? Changed to one on a Jabiru, no issues since.
  2. dlegg
    Yes, mine needs a heavy batt fwf. And for about $130 for a lead acid, can't fathom paying over $500 for a lithium.

    Sure complicates what should be a simple system. And a ludicrous price.

    If all the material costs have gone up roughly 3X then surely the flying planes will have to at least double in value.

    A Zenith 650 kit is about 80k landed in oz. No engine, avionics etc.
  7. dlegg
    So it's over double the cost and you haven't even assembled it yet, no paint etc. Would you build one now at the current cost?
  8. dlegg
    Not mass produced but surely enough are made now that they have recovered initial investment and are now making massive profits.

    After completing my kit aircraft build in 2013, I have been getting in new prices for current costs for what I have. My total costs were 60k, including importing complete kit from the US. Today's prices show I would need nearly 170k for the same aircraft. Nearly 3 times the cost. Surely kit building is now too far out of reach for anyone. RV's etc used to be affordable, almost. Are our completed aircraft now worth 3 times more?

    Absolutely insane pricing for someone trying to build a kit plane.

    I agree, plane definitely landed there, video is suspect as he'll.
  12. dlegg
    Yep I agree, news reports (reputable) only show aircraft parked. Sure looks AI video of plane coming in.

    You would also have to think that if the crank support was inadequate then the crank case itself would fail. That doesn't seem to be the case, nor does a crankshaft breakage history.

    So a touring RAA pilot needs an asic to land at a sec controlled airstrip to refuel and take off again. When applying for asic an RAA pilot is discouraged from applying as deemed not necessary. What to do, what to do...

    I was having some lessons and a lot of fun with Dave in the cub, I came in to land and his left foot shoe got jammed around the rudder pedal. We were heading for the fence, Dave swearing away, ended up ground looping in time, no damage, but Dave took of his shoes and chucked them over the fence. We then lay on the ground just laughing like crazy. RIP Dave.

    Those temps entirely normal for cowled engine, good luck getting better.

    There might have been "only" 6 fatalities last year but we are off to a horror start this year.

    I really appreciate Bernoulli but surely if you got a BBQ plate moving fast enough and increased AOA it would fly. Lots of aircraft have wings with identical profiles each side of the centreline, so does the Bernoulli effect simply enhance a wings behaviour..?

    Mandatory or you're in for a nasty surprise

    Can only be described as youthful drunken foolishness turning into a darwin award. Fortunately no other fatalities.
