It's fits our old bucket version.

Yours for only €1200 + vat + shipping!!!

So nothing much is happening now, inspection is approved and papperwork is taking way to long time, my technical advisor has gone missing so i cant get the final signature from him... The leading edge wing was black but i got so big movements when sun shined so i wrapped it in vinyl. I also removed the standard throttle handle and installed a vernier version from Mcfarlane. So for now nothing is really happening.

Well I have a D motor, the support he gives by phone and email is instant, any spares needed is sent with the quickly. Service bulletins, well there is no real system to that yet, but all changes such as an updated more powerful alternator was sent out with tools and easily changed. The instructions leaves allot to wish for, most of what exist now are from customers and resellers. He sent a free engine to a school in England in premise that they would make a pro manual for him, still have not seen it.

This forum looks like Lyndon's private mail box probably.

Lyndon, for F**K sake, keep your build questions to your build thread, your spamming atleat my mail box....

Ok so i mounted the new air scoops and cooling is superb! It looks ugly but im not joning and pagent anytime soon. This makes me wonder if i installed the second radiator in vain now when it seems it was the scoops?

opening measurements, not cm2.

Skee, assuming there is not a fault with the engine, cooling requires: 1. Sufficient flow of coolant through the engine and 2. Sufficient flow of air through a suitable sized radiator.[/qoute] Hello, this morning i made download of logging from ECU. Datas show that i`m better as i wrote yesterday. With new cooling max temp was 82° and later on in cruise temp went down to something between 74° and 77° depending to powersetting and rpm. You may report to Dennis, that the radiators heinstalled (entirely the same as in C42) should work if enough air can go in. Kind regards Jürgen Ostermeier D-Motor Germany Got that email yesterday Insufficient flow of coolant can be caused by: 1. Air trapped in the system. All points are leaning up to a ventilated high spot. 2. Faulty or incorrect pump. i hope not, it seems to be flowing. 3. Faulty or incorrect thermostat. it made no difference with or without it when i drove the engine with one radiator earlier, i think its working. 4. Some other blockage in the system. radiators are in series, ive been getting different sugestions whick is best :/ 5. Incorrect piping/flow direction. all minimum 25mm. And probably some other things, but that will do for starters. As for the radiator, you have taken advice from the manufacturer on the size of that. Regarding air flow, that can be difficult to get right in an aircraft. It's hard to see your full setup there, but clearly the air needs to be blown through the radiator (rather than around it). After that, the air must then be able to exit from the cowling. Air streams seems to be sucked into the intakes. You don't say what temperature you are measuring or where in the system? Also, some idea of just how rapidly the temperature climbs, and how much? WaterTemp for Efis is measured in the cylinderheads and for efis in the joined exit of the water outlets on the cylinder heads. it will run from 95C to 120C in less than 1 minute. Hopefully the new bigger air intakes will make a diff, otherwise i need to redo the whole cowl.

Some nice fellow did this for me, air flow is not very impressive just by surface. Trying to install these to se what happens.

Its for the water radiators, coolant. At idle i can hold coolant temp but when i try to rev it at 2500rpm it just goes up instantly, anyone got any ideas? what am i doing wrong? how long should i be able to pull full throttle at ground? will cooling get better when flying?

So i started it and temp went up to 110C then went down to 105C and stayed there, im suspecting some type of calibration error, just the thing it goes up and then down makes me suspect the thermostat is doing its job.

A small Leakage in the return coupling, original sealing didnt hold up so i tried a o ring, and then i went berserk with class B sealing. Also done with the air scoop for the right side, im really no good at this. Lets try to start the beast this weekend and see what happens this time.

The first one is 40*19*3 and the new one is 40*14*3, two different rotax radiators. The last few steps seems really hard.

Ive been away on business trips and finally got the second radiator installed. Now just to adjust the cowl so i have an extra air intake, not looking forward to that sanding.

So ive started it a few times and it seems cooling is insufficient, i even tried adding a radiator fan and difference was marginal so conclusion is that radiator is to small. According to DMotor size need to be 2,500,000mm3, my radiator is 340x190x30= 1,938,000mm3, Dmotor could have been so nice to mention this like a year ago :(

Sometime this summer, i have to perform emergency practice on another aircraft too, then low speed test, inspection, high speed test, find another guy to make test flight, he must learn me to fly it. Just very tired.

youve must have misunderstood me, this is just a ornament.

No do i need that? ,, kiddin ,, no not yet, there are some rigorous checks and groundtests before that shit can happen.

Actually is is blood from my aircraft (oil)

Its now ready, now lets begin final checks and flight testing.

First run of D-motor on my aircraft.
