    2000 classic 582 blue head motor with new Streak 2B wing

     

    Wing - TT 10 Hrs

     

    Base and motor - TT 632 Hrs

     

    Motor had bottom end rebuild at 470 Hrs and has just had new rings and top end gaskets at 630 Hrs. There is however a coolant overheating problem which I can't find so the motor will need to be looked at or replaced.

     

    $10,000.00 ono

     

    Would consider selling the wing seperately for the right price.

    Radio/Gps Interference

    in Engines and Props

    Posted

    Thanks for the imput guys. This is what I have found so far. I have also run the gps on batteries as well as hard wired to the trike to eliminate it being a power source problem. With a dipole mounted and insulated on the kingpost instead of the hand held ariel mounted underneath the trike improved the situation somewhat and required less squelch but the static was still there. With the the dipole completely earthed to the trike, static gone. With the trike in the hangar and the wing down I can receive the weather station from the airport 5 kms away.

     

    Cheers,

    Radio/Gps Interference

    Hi Guys,

     

    Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? My Garmin 196 is causing interference with my radio. When my gps is on I get a constant 1 second static pulse ( best way I can describe it ) about a second apart. Turn the gps off, radio is clear. I am running an icom handheld on a trike. Have tried a dipole on the king post and a rubber hand held ariel mounted under the trike. With the dipole it isn't as bad but is still there. Takes nearly full squelch to remove it. Any help would be greatley appreciated.

    Military low level activity

    Hi Guys,

     

    Was on the ground the other day when 2 airforce trainers went past very low and fast. As I operate out of a CTAF-R , I was wondering, should their activity be listed in the current Notams for the area. Went home and checked on the pilot briefing service but could not find anything listed in the notam section. Just a bit concerned as I fly a microlight with a slow wing that if I wasn't aware of their presence, even with radio contact, they could be apon me before I could reply to their transmission.

     

    Cheers,

    Temp Guage

    in Engines and Props

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    I'm having trouble with the temp guage on 582 on my trike. All's well at warm up and taxi. Soon after I'm airborne it goes dead. Land, kill engine, ignition off, temp guage works. Restart engine, temp not working. Went home and looked at wiring diagram. Next day after touching nothing, same thing. All other guages are fine. Any Ideas? A mechanical friend suggested fitting a capillary guage instead. Any thoughts, ideas would be appreciated.
