storchy neil

bloody hell a question was asked

G'day All. Just wondering if I might be able to ask the views of the panel? Long story short, I'm an ex GA pilot looking to get into recreational aircraft, with the goal of eventually building my own. Tail-end of last year I Googled flying schools in the area and decided to go out and have a squiz and a yarn. Being new to RA, I'm not too sure on the rules and regulations for the different registrations, but one of the aircraft triggered a "What The Fark !?...Mob of Dodgy Can'ts!" response. Just wondering if this is considered a serviceable or unserviceable condition, and common for RAAus aircraft?

Also, the corroded Flaperon hanger assembly did not appear to have any bearing or bush fitted, so the whole mechanism wobbled like an Elvis impersonator with Parkison's. Is this normal?

no its not

but

owing to the fact that their are rouge operators in this sport that need to be hung drawn and quartered and named so as the person like you do not get the impresion that all rec planes are a death traps

this information about operators of planes in this condition needs to be addressed in writing to raa and if no response CASA as the charter that we as an organization operate under has been broken there for no one will able to partisapate in this sport

don't phone put it in writing

IF this plane is at the extreme end of where it's alleged to be condition wise, anyone with a KNOWLEDGE or witnessing an unsafe action in aviation is required to report it to the authority. In our circumstances it would logically be to the RAAus initially,

nev the part of this saga that has me concerned is with a plane in that condition and used to train persons to fly what sort of instructor was he /she ? neil

hey adim you mean you want get into me boat bring your own

Yeh kinda reminds me of my shit neil

bt I wont disagree ross R I P mate and I discussed at temora an aircraft up near him that was not in any way shape or form anywhere near air worthy state

ross showed me a couple of photos and I recall looks very similar to the photos in this thread

I wonder is there a paper trail leading to raa from ross on this aircraft if not why not neil

Plane driver according to who them there kids spend up big you you have pissed them off Neil

so those photos are not real neil

N S S S CASA GA rules apply to all air craft more info is required it is a 24 reg aircraft by the number take your arse out their and bloody well report that death trap or are you to bloody scared to report and hide behind photos

good advertising for self maintenance neil

them is rite that said the nose wheel assemble is made off glass treat it as so

neil

"Who messed up that caused them to put this in writing?" you is not the only one me too must have cause neil

Best wishes to the team Neil

Not being smart oz I agree with what you say but rotax have still say that manual fuel pumps do fail.

A minuscule amount of fuel into oil wil will have devestating effects on oil.

The failure to have the return line in stalled as to the requirement of rotax makes the problem an incident waiting to happen and it is.

Not one person has came up and said that all off the aircraft that have rotax 912 power plant installed involved in incidents had the return fitted why ?

Making. An assumption by me I assume that should you get the real story you will find that the percentages will find that there is no return line on most of the aircraft to alleviate fuel presure Neil

A Pauline moment please ex plain caution neil

Sorry ozbear not according to rotax several AD issued Neil

It's called Just keeping a head of the aircraft Neil

An Old young fella that used to fligh them there big birds said he filled his pockets with sand to give him more weight so as to stop the soaring

Welcome back Neil

Part reply to post 31

Oh dear great example off useing the slams gear box into reverse ar 100 ks does the writer have a car that old that it does not have a SAFETY gate incorporated into the gear box

When I was learning to drive on the side of the gear stick there was a little button that when you wanted to select reverse you lifted it to open the SAFETY gate to select reverse the only way that reverse could be selected was to open the SAFETY gate

Today the same principle applies in the latest ford ranger lift the button to open the SAFETY GATE to engage reverse

Yes there were idiots back then who needed a SAFETY gate in stalled by the manufacturer after idiots ran over people

Now if your car does not have that SAFETY gate return to seller or have YOU REMOVED SAID SAFETY GATE in witch case hello warden Neil

Yes ooooh sheep Neil

Simon mo take heart young fella i started learning to drive trucks when I was 17 over bloody seventy now gave up learning and retired Neil

Oh bloody expert now:score 001:

Geoff13 shit I have read that 3 times and cannot believe what you have written used car salesman comes to mind

Unbelievable bloody unbelievable 4 read that's when my head stops rotating still can't get me head around it

As dan said you can lead a horse to water WE DO HAVE PROBLEM here Neil

thank you kasper for that answer to my stupid question

when persons make remarks without an explanation gets me to question motive

and yes I have been on a flight on a trike no he did not frighten me or do anything stupid as I will go again when it warm these old bones don't like getting cold Neil

Nev I do have a pump similar too what appears to be a fire risk pump I did set it up and run water through it then fuel

By letting the fuel run unrestricted no heat at pump when partly restricted small increase of heat when the flow was brought to a trickle there was significant increase in heat at pump also heating of fuel

Also the wiring to the pump also heated

Rotax have an AD that if your engine had fuel pump number xxxxxx to xxxx to replace it so the maker of the aircraft who installed the engine there way does not have to inform you of this AD

On a four wheeler bike That had fuel problem it was found that the manual fuel pump was pumping to mutch fuel and blowing out the carby seals changed pump problem solved

Experimenting to be done with extreme caution

To see how many litre are returned to the tank

Place plane in area safe

Anchor aircraft important

Have three observers

Have fire extinguisher ready

remove return line

Extend return line to a container well away from aircraft

Enter air craft

Start engine and run at idle for say five minutes

Measure quantity

Now use the same procedures as at 4800

Have a thermometer and check fuel temp

Whats the conclusion Neil

So automobiles is the best solution to your argument that you can come up with just goes to show how wrong you are in your statement. Neil

spot on dan when that part has been a requirement from ROTAX SINCE 2004 according to the manual I got when I purchested my aircraft ( bert flood RIP mate )informed me 1997 or there about 2000 it was mentioned somewhere

those that quote the pages said had better read it again as it states air frames does not say that they do not attach return line to rotax motors in their airframes neil

go out back the coast full neil

There for had return line been in accordance with rotax installation manual that would not have happened.

Facts are that foxbat did not install return line there for by your own admission you are at fault.

Get with it fuel under presure will boil stop making out that it's not happening ROTAX have had the return line to the tank for more years so for you to say it is not required is bulxxxx so sue me if you recond that that you know more than ROTAX.

I am talking ROTAX 912 series motors not bloody GA.

What size was the fuze ?neil
