NTBA <<<< that is the address with more about the circuit

Your right about the transistor with that circuit you can go with a Darlinghton to handle more power and keep the parts count the same .

The key feature was the 1 second timer *flashing led*

Guess-to-mate

Have you tried electrical spray cleaner on the terminals, ? contamination, the connections could look clean but have a film over them nudge the spade connectors a little tighter.

Module a AND b have one connection in-common , so for that to be the case, Original A would have to short depriving B of power. Why would a short go away at rpm?

I vote for the cabling, How much is the stainless covered loom$

I believe before it was not covered, and was upgraded to improve reliability, may also force more stress where it is not covered

Lets hope you have solved it anyway

Good luck

Have you tried Matronics they have a rotax forum not sure how popular it is.

Is there an excessive RPM drop when testing

ignition systems independently?

YES

Ä

1. Check carburetors first. Activate choke. If there is a change, sus-

pect the carburetors.

2. Clean grounding terminals

3. Check pick-up coil gaps

4. Swap the position of the red charging coil wires to the electronic

modules. If the problem remains on the same mag, the charging

system is OK. If it shifts, the stator coil, its wiring or its grounding

are faulty.

5. Swap positions of the pick-up coil connectors. If the problem shifts

there is a faulty pick-up.

6. Install new spark plugs, inspect spark plug caps and measure their

resistance and the secondary coil’s resistance.

7. Swap ignition module A with module B, measure their primary coil

resistance (on new style modules the ground goes through the

connector). If the problem moves, there is a faulty ignition module.

A few more straws to grab at

Some Ads, sounds like grounding.

To increase the TBo Hours on some engines says something about replacing the stator etc >> ie known problems

Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Piston engines

otax Piston Engines

AD/ROTAX/2 Ignition Electronic Module 3/95 TX

Applicability: All 912 A series engines with serial numbers 4,076.062 to 4,076.220 inclusive.

Requirement: Inspect, and if necessary, repair the grounding cable assembly on electronics module

Part Number 965 356, in accordance with Bombardier Rotax Mandatory Technical

Bulletin 912-06 dated 21 November 1994.

Note: Austro Control (Austria) AD 80 dated 28 November 1994 refers.

Compliance: 1. Prior to further flight after 12 January 1995, but no later than 31 January 1995.

2. Prior to installation of an electronic module on an engine.

Background: Bombardier Rotax have reported that production machinery problems have resulted in

the electronics module grounding cable lug being incorrectly fitted, this could result

in engine misfiring or stoppage. This Directive requires the cable lug to be inspected

for correct installation.

Thanks I had tried a 7 inch before, still way to small, maybe time to put my fat fingers on diet, Will give Des a try, thought I may have missed something as I still find new things Thanks Again

Hi slartibartfast

I also have used the ozi for a long time.

Have you worked how to make the GO_TO Button BIGGER

I find even on a 5" screen it just is too small in an emergency.

I have tried the screen designer but it won`t do.

The idea would be make the fonts larger in the wp list and increase the goto button size.

Any ideas? thanks

Worlds first Open Source manned aircraft. Through the generosity of the family of the late Charles Ligeti, and the active contribution of his son Ron, an accomplished aeronautical engineer, the Ligeti Stratos has been made available as what is hoped to be the first of a complete line of Open Source aircraft.

The Ligeti Stratos, a strikingly beautiful joined-wing microlight which cruises at 112 kts on 1.3 gph was originally designed and flown 20 years ago in Australia

Ligeti Stratos: World's first open source aircraft

Here is a chance for People with technical ability to change aviation, there will also be a 2 seat version . Great concept Open Source

Are there any countries where an Au radio won`t work? (not talking about each countries Licensing)

Thanks Tony

Thanks Wags I will look into it

Thanks Luke and Ahlocks this is great just what I was after.

Thanks again everyone

The downside is there are missing council fields Example Tyagarah

Ok now converted with Oziexplorer with the names in place

Great write up Ross.

For people who have a windows ce gps with the map on the sd card an not wanting to

hack the gps there is away.

No hack method

In my case when I start my gps I can choose 6 functions

Navigation, mp3, read pdf, movie/ picture.

With this software it creates a second menu, so when You click on Navigation a second menu pops up with 3 choices.

1 The original navigation software

2 Oziexplorer

3 Igo8 navigation what you add is your choice

Getting Started

Sd card reader or active sync (sd card reader about $10)

1 Download menu.zip

2 Look for the exe that starts your gps in the SD card

(My case Folder MobileNavigator> MobileNavigator.exe Rename the folder to Navigator

3 Make a new Folder name it MobileNavigator put the files in this folder and rename the

menu.exe to MobileNavigator.exe

5 Open mapcfg.ini with notepad and edit it to suit your programs.

[bUTTON1]

EXEPATH=\Navigator\MobileNavigator.exe

ENABLED=1

CAPTION=laser

[bUTTON2]

EXEPATH=\OziExplorerCE\OziExplorer.exe

ENABLED=1

CAPTION=oz

[bUTTON3]

EXEPATH=\iGO8\iGO.exe

ENABLED=1

CAPTION=igo

FUNCTION=HandCalendar

That`s all Igo/mio/tomtom/route66 all should work just need to rework it.

Back up all your files first if you put this in a new sd card at any time you can whip out this card and replace it with the original no changes to the gps

Would anyone have an Airstrips data base for Oziexplorer .

If not what is the best way to gather and process the info.

And also is there a directory for backyard strips which are just private strips and not for landing there except with an engine out.

Thanks everyone

Tony

Howdy anyone have a file with Unlicensed Airports etc in Australia as it was not supplied with the unit

Thanksyou regards

G'day.. I wouldn't be stalling while slipping if i were you...cheers

That was the point of the question," Avoiding"

Short field landing being closer to the stall, and the angle of attack keeping, the nose low what would you say would be the slowest air speed ( loaded question )

This all so comes about no matter how many stalls you pratice it will never be the same close to the ground, in ground effect, engine out, windmilling, etc.

I found this a cross wind simulator get like a million hours practice in an hour

think about it really 1000 landings gives you how many seconds of flare to touch down

What is the best way to get a stol aircraft down with slips?

The question comes about due to the Pitot being on one side.

Say a zenith 701 stol 30knot stall

So one can expect slipping left and right would give differrent results for air speed + no cross wind / and cross wind 90 degrees plus and minus say 20 degrees + delay of the asi

And practice slip stalls at altitude what can go wrong

Thank you in advance

Tony

Thank you Decca for the warm welcoming

Hi all

Been lurking to get the feel of the forum, am very impressed by what I have seen. Just a bit busy to look to much over the Holidays hope to get more time soon:clap:

So best wishes everyone for 2008
