    MARAP is like an STC for RAAus factory built aircraft - yes. It came about (in part) to be able to support older aircraft where original parts (as per the Type Acceptance Certificate data sheet) became no longer available. Listed propellers for example. Until MARAP came a long, perhaps the only other option to change prop was a full CAR 35 engineered and CASA approved STC.

    And GerryC - Simon says thanks.

    Thanks GerryC, that's probably the sort of thing he's talking about, there is a specific plan/drawing he is seeking, he knows what he wants.

    Someone I know in New Zealand has a request: Volkswagen Induction Manifold Heater Assembly: I seek help in being able to locate a drawing of an Intake manifold that incorporates an oil feed induction manifold Heater (similar to the one in the Taylor Monoplane Drawings) which also serves as an Oil Cooler – similar to those used in the conversion of Volkswagen Engines by Rogers and Revel for Amateur-Built Aircraft in the 60–80's. I only have about 3% of an idea what it even is. Sounds like real old technology and anyone likely to have been messing with this stuff might be long gone. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Bill, I have done that exact job in Azusa alloy wheels, 15mm off centre was enough for me. No problem at all. Countersink slightly to take off any sharp edges. Probably fill the old holes/half holes with epoxy if you can, araldite, whatever you have. Moving the hole for the tube valve made the world of difference, Valve finally sits properly, and adding air is no as easy as it's supposed to be. I say DO IT! The general problem seems to be that the TR87 style 90 degree valve tubes do not have the valve in the centre, it's offset. Originally, I did originally start with centred 90 deg vlave tubes, but every one bought since then - same brand, same tube - was offset. It's a far better solution I think to modify the wheel to take the normally available anywhere TR87 tubes.

    If it has a battery in it, it 100% will have a part number on the battery.

    Yes, it sure is there on the website, for the last 4 years. Yes it mentions RV6.

    VANS no longer supplies RV6A engine mounts, as found by a local here about 2 years ago.

    A 9+ month old newsflash? There are still plenty of alphas, I think the pool is increasing actually as aircraft de-register for various reasons. 2anything is not an available mark,yet. Hope the paint has not dried yet. 8___ only to date (as an initial CASA move to get the program underway) and Xnumber__ In other breaking news, Amelia Earhart is missing.

    I "know" it's the Silence twister.

    You can indeed privately borrow or hire a plane from someone willing to do that. I've done it many times, no problem at all.

    Some aircraft have two seats???? Wow. Mind blown..... I'm right-handed, but fly south-paw.

    Nobody bothered to ask "what engine?" What engine?
  14. 440032
    My two cents, and how I tackled oil cooler placement on something else - but same basic problem to solve. Mount the cooler to what points are available on the engine. This is the very first thing that needs to be considered I think. There's no point trying to stuff it in the cowl if there's nowhere to mount it to. Modify the cowl to suit.

    There's now a cafe on the moon. Great food, but absolutely no atmosphere.

    One might think the simplest explanation would be the most likely. Maybe headphone sockets wired up incorrectly? Did you have it done, or do that yourself? There are three solder tabs, and you generally use just two.

    Surely RAAus knows of Robert's Jabiru 170 19-4576?

    Seems the aircraft were fenced off from the public to keep them (the aircraft) safe? Unlike every major airshow and fly-in in USA.

    Your exhaust springs are not missing - they are with the three screws.

    Looks exactly like a generic 40A Kubota alternator cover. 6mm metric, with 10mm hex & phillips head. 6mm bolts are everywhere on a car and associated items like this. If they are just to hold the cover on, they are probably short - 10mm long thread or so. Get some at the hardware store, install, reinstall to motor, cleanup tools and pack them away, then find three screws left over.

    No good deed goes unpunished.....

    View from the helicopter - they left the door open! DOH! Good work all you peeps who swam out to assist.
  24. 440032
    Astute viewers of that series with the slings may notice the stall warning beeping at takeoff many times. Me thinks overloaded to hell and rear CG?

    CAMiT built the engines, not Jabiru. CAMiT folded. Totally separate company.
