I have the 912I.S sport, I had one instance where the efis told me it was burning almost double the fuel it should have been, I landed, checked everything, changed nothing, took off again and all was good. I have had to install a larger fuel filter and clean the screen in the fuel pressure regulator, since this work was completed it has been a little difficult to start if it hasn't run for a while, It behaves like it is getting a bit of air into the fuel system. Currently there is a service bulletin out, to change the stators, I will take it to Floods to have this work carried out and get them to plug in their magic "dongle" to see what the high fuel burn issue was and get them to look into the starting issue. The only other problem I have heard is, contacts on top of the motor can come loose and require extra cable ties to keep them in place. For some reason there seems to be a few people that want to tell me I'm going to have problems, one guy is certain the gearbox is going to crap itself, and another proclaims that the ones in his area have " all sorts of problems" but so far has not been able to give a single specific example. Mine only has 130 hrs.

You must have been disappointed to find out you aren't special after all Its ok, there are counselling services available

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into awell. The animal cried piteously for hours asthe farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and thewell needed to be covered up anyway;it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come overand help him. They all grabbed a shovel and beganto shovel dirt into the well. At first, thedonkey realized what was happening and criedhorribly. Then, to everyone's amazement hequieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finallylooked down the well. He was astonished at whathe saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit hisback, the donkey was doing something amazing.he would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shoveldirt on top of the animal, he would shake itoff and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkeystepped up over the edge of the well andhappily trotted off! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kindsof dirt. The trick to getting out of the wellis to shake it off and take a step up. Each ofour troubles is a steppingstone. We can get outof the deepest wells just by not stopping,never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. Remember the five simple rules to be happy: Free your heart from hatred - - Forgive. Free your mind from worries - - Most never happen. Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less. NOW........... Enough of that crap . ...The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected andthe farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.. MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON: When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass,it always comes back to bite you. --

Here's a thought:teacher:, maybe you could, stop , and accept that you're doing something to help your ailing organisation, use less key strokes than it took to post in this thread and spend $60 ( that's two packets of cigarettes or half a tank of fuel) to subscribe for six months. The only problem I see, is that RAAus wants to boost its membership, and there will be a lot less mags laying around waiting rooms and coffee tables advertising the sport.

TERRORIST ACTIVITY HAS CAUSED HILLARY CLINTON TO TAKE MEASURES IN ORDER TO PROTECT HER CANDIDACY FOR THE 2016 PRESIDENCY. FOR SECURITY REASONS, HILLARY HAS CHOSEN A MUSLIM NAME. SO FROM NOW ON, PLEASE USE HER NEW MUSLIM NAME: SELDOM BIN LAYED We must remember that we cannot trust Hillary Clinton to create American jobs........ The last time she had a simple job to do, she outsourced it to Monica Lewinsky..... and Monica blew it..!!!

Holy smoke, no wonder I feel bloated all the time, it seems I've been over indulging......

What are "tuff jugs"? Are these tuff jugs? She's only got two.

Dazza doesn't seem to be around anymore, so I suppose someone has to do it.

An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet. 'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds. When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60lbs! 'Why, that's amazing!' the doctor said, 'Did you follow my instructions?' The Irishman nodded...'I'll tell you though, by jaesuz, I t'aut I were going to drop dead on dat 3rd day.' 'From the hunger, you mean?' asked the doctor. 'No, from the "Bloody Skippin"

He probably doesn't care anymore, the above conversation is seven years old now.

Magic Sandals A married couple were on holiday in Jamaica . They were touring around the market-place looking at the goods and such, when they passed a small sandal shop. From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, 'You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop..' So the married couple walked in. The Jamaican said to them, 'I 'ave some special sandals I tink you would be interested in. Dey makes you wild at sex.' Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the Sex God that he was. The husband asked the man, 'How could sandals make you a sex freak?' The Jamaican replied, 'Just try dem on, Mon.' Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild Look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen before!! In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him over the table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants, and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's thighs. The Jamaican began screaming: 'You got dem on de wrong feet!'

Cool reg letters for a guy named Kev Armstrong...

Isn't it only the heads that are water cooled,on a 912, if so why would a blown head gasket allow water into the oil, or pressurise the radiator?

If it's sucking air downstream of the carbs, that leans the mixture, applying choke enriches the mixture. Seems likely to me, but I'm not a mechanic

Are the carb mount rubbers in good condition?

They should stop planting crosswinds near the airstrip then . They should only grow headwinds near the airstrip, and if the market demands crosswinds then they should grow them at the other end of the farm.....

Unless the aircraft is a glider, it's probably going to find it difficult to sneak up on someone standing in the paddock.

Teflon tape is applied, to lubricate the thread so it can be tightened enough to seal, so , it shouldn't work on an idle screw.

It also lists the Cootamundra windmill tragedy as being an Arrow wing. Give that happened early April 2012 and discussion on here, in May 2012, was about rumours of a new wing about to be released, called the Arrow. I doubt they have that right either.

Keep your engine temperature as even as you can, i.e no power off descents then full power climb out ( the power off decent may be the only part you have control of sometimes). Use high quality 2 stroke oil, such as Castrol active 2t. As Allan said enjoy yourself

There is a David Clark headset advertised locally in the Bairnsdale Victoria area. $180. If interested P.M me and I will give you the number

You know, when you search something on the Internet, nek minit, you get an add every time you open a page, trying to sell you everything you've looked at in the last six months. Then there is the Facebook thing, where I spoke to a woman on the phone one day, nek minit Facebook thinks I might know her. How did they get onto that? All this I can cope with (just), but last night, I went to the servo to get some fuel for the trike annnnddddd...... Well how the hell did they know what I was going to use it for?
