Thing is these batteries arent just a pack of cells they all have built in Battery Management Systems that are designed to be compatible with regular Lead acid Reg/Recs. I have used them on my motorcycles for years now with no other change made, they just are a straight swap. I just think the Ducati unit that Rotax use is not as robust as some others, lets face it Italian Electrics have never been top of the pile

Most over here either just buy another Rotax/Ducati or swap to the Carmo. I havnt seen a Carmo Failure yet, I know so far of one with about 300 hours on and all good time will tell

They have a fair number of failures in UK use. i've had a couple of failures and know of others. Guessing anecdotally something like 1 in 30 not lasting past a few hundred hours over here

There is a huge jump for these things to go from demonstrators able to attain flight to aircaft that can actually do a job of work. Performance claims invariably smell of BS as do the statements like changing the way we travel......nah these things will be little more than specialised drones and toys for the rich for a long time yet I wouldn't invest a penny on this stuff, I'm constantly baffled that the get so much cash thrown at them

I have a spare SHINDENGEN FH020AA from one of my bikes, the input is 3 phase, not sure can this be used single phase with just the 2 wires from the 912 generator?

Where?

Yep, you wont believe how light EarthX can make your wallet

It looks like either an american School bus or a yellow cab...I dont get the connection with Biden, whats the joke?

Jabirus are built light which together with Price probably forms the 2 main attractions. This focus on keeping weight down over other conventional flat 4 aircraft 4 strokes will always show up problems, the engine has undergone constant updates to try and address failure points.

Thanks, seems a very valid explanation of the root of the problem. Do many Jabiru models require that ridiculous length of prop drive extension?

Don't ask me I dont make the rules. P.S. Maybe they think more people have experience of 4 strokes in one form or another I really dont know but I'm pretty sure the majority of people under about 40 wouldnt even attempt an oil change on their car these days, the lack of knowledge and experience of anything mechanical amongst the majority of youngsters in the developed world is frankly shocking

Me neither, it has never been a thing in the UK and decades of prior 2 stroke experience probably aided more than any endorsement could when I got my first aircraft with 503, but not everyone who gets a licence to fly has experience of engines of any type and in the case of licence categories that allow owner maintenance some training might well be usefull for them. It's a mistake to assume that just because something is bad or unnecessary for you the same applies to everyone.

Is there a lack of Flight training availability is your part of the world?. Something that a few people do over here in Britland is go somewhere like Portugal and do an intensive course for a licence over there sometimes combining it with a holiday, it is usually quicker than over here due to our crap weather. Is something like that feasible for you?, I realise the distances involved will be much larger but life is short get on with it.

Sounds reasonable, many people have little or no experience of 2 stroke engines. What does the Endorsement cover?

Where was your CO detector made?
