    [quote="Methusala, post: 313903, member: 320 "it was pointed out that the large rego numbers arranged vertically down the rudder were missing a hyphen which again made that aircraft non-compliant. " not too sure Vertical numbers comply,........ with or without the hyphen! RAA Operations Manual , Section 4.09, para 2. spells it out fairly clearly.

    G'day Paul, I'll send some pics when I get home. The manifold I have is water heated as i'm of the school that thinks ((believes) that wet intakes should be heated to maintain vaporisation. But that's me. ( I personally think carbies SUCK!...I'm a firm believer in EFI) As to redrives , I'm running an Autoflight..c.a $3200 from Niel Hinz in NZ. I do have a Hirth box 2.25:1 (unused)on an ea81 c/w adapters etc ....you may be interested in!

    G'day Sandy, the trials and tribulations (eventually....or is that eventfully/) of kitbuilding! Wow, 1000# empty is sure a load for an ea81 ! I think the way to jump up to the task is probably to check out Ram heads.......http://www.ramengines.com/index.html . Up to 140 hp, modified heads and cams et al . Worth a look. Good luck and welcome .

    I'm not going to get into the wrestling match here...or anywhere for that matter, but to shed some light on your question; I was at Bolly this day and saw the Jabiru decalled props which they have been supplying for "some-time now"(sic). They are pretty impressive with a hub root about twice the diameter of standard Bolly/Warp/etc. I think if you had a prop strike it'd rip the engine off the firewall! (don't know if that's a good thing...don't ask me how I know) They make a very fine piece of kit and are excellent people to deal with. (...plug over) . And if the rego was'nt in a bl**dy pile somewhere in Fyshwick I'd be tempted!

    That's how 'they' do it ............on the plans anyway!

    Using CHROME...........I have signed; by removing the '# share'...............I bring it up for people that may not know the "trick'.

    ........Oh! Thanks Jim . OK so why does the 'sms' as required need a consensus of the 'board' to implement the fore-mentioned sms?
  21. cherk
    quote{ "RAAus has been aware of the need for inventing a SMS, for over two years (maybe many more than two) but due to lack of consensus by the board nothing has been done. And it looked like nothing was continuing to be done in spite of all the board's deliberations. " (end quote) } I'm a simpleton!....I know , so that's OK (with me) ; How-ever if the RAA deed of agreement with CASA , 'REQUIRES' an SMS Officer, why the Bl**dy hell does it need a consensus from a disfunctional board of representatives. As I said .....I'm a simpleton! Seems to me it's as 'they' say .....it's a no-brainer !! So tell me why?...............(please.......keep it simple)
