just fitted a new battery in my plane , 914, and noticed after fitting the positive that when I touched the negative it produced a small spark , everything turned off, where would I be loosing current.

Ring bob

Bought one from a bloke a couple of months ago , fitted straight on my 914 running a Kašpar prop, definitely notice the difference, ring bob on 0429 639770, very helpfull

Thinking of heading north for a few days in June , best flying weather , leaving northern vic ending up at Birdsville and back home via lake eyre and anywhere in between, if interested let me know .

I know of a real good savannah for sale , definitely worth a look

My Sabre has just clocked over 1500 hrs , can’t fault it, MTOW is now 544,

Might have helped a bit if he had the gear up

Many thanks for your reply, I will pass on your contact no to my mate ,

Picked up in SA , unsure of the previous owner, long story how it happened mostly bad luck.

Mate just bought a genesis and had a tree branch put a six inch hole in the top of the wing , can we patch it with similar covering what sort of glue could be used.

Sorry, bit hard to fly them to the states.

If interested I know of 2 for sale ,low hours ,good build.

Looks like casa has Pauline’s pilot, Ashby, in their sights for flying their j230 around Queensland trying to drum up votes, wondering how this will end up.

What’s a alternator, so I’d say never!

Turned out to be brushes

mate just rang me about his starter failing , solenoid pulls in , good battery, but only small movements of the prop then nothing , any ideas ?

Those stats don’t seem that bad , 180kns vne, tested to 9 g, the airframe seems solid.

Will do

Where

So what didn’t you like about them

Dreaming about buying a lighting, all the numbers look impressive, 150kn cruise on a jabi 6 , anyone with any experience can tell me if these figures are true

Thanks for all your advice, I borrowed a radiator pressure testing outfit from a mate but none of the caps were small enough to fit the Rotax header tank so I figured I could pump some pressure back down the bleed off hose which should open the non return valve in the cap and end up in the system which hopefully might show up any leaks unsure whether this is the right way to go about it

I reckon I am loosing a small amount of coolant out of the expansion bottle , searched ever where but it doesn't show up , is it possible to hand pump some pressure in through the hose that feeds the bottle to check if that shows up anything .

Not worth the trouble, so I think we will give it a miss
