Ta, over here in the UK we have e10 as the regular mogas grade and E5 'super' at 97-98 RON, up untill last septemeber Esso 'Super was Ethanol free now there is no ethanol free mogas available so us Rotax users have been forced into E5 or the ridiculously overpriced UL91 ..or of course that orrible 100LL, but that's a last resort
-
Brenden stop with grudge shit everytime someone expresses a view not aligned to yours, its getting tedious
-
Maybe I should clarify for the hard of thinking, when did Fuel with a proportion of ethanol become available at the Pumps in Australia?
-
Out of interest, when did Ethanol start being introduced at the pumps in Australia?
-
My opinion is allowed here I believe
-
I think its more down to the changing fuel chemistry in the last 20 years, especially the ethanol introduction. One thing that confuses me is the reccomendations for these epoxy floats, I had a shadow wwhich had fibrelam tanks held together with epoxy (Araldite), when Ethanol started to be introduced the tank started falling apart at the internal epoxy joints...I guess this epoxy must be very different?, I'd wait a bit before rushing to this new 'solution'

Spot on
-
Part of the reason I avoid commercial flight these days, its a shame but its at the point now where I feel violent towards inconsiderate louts and the proportion of them is increasing generation by generation.
-
Ethanol proof floats for the bing carbs are available from a couple of BMW motorcycle specialists. In fact most Bing parts are better sourced that way, unless you enjoy being ripped off

So why did you need to call someone to explain what 3rd party insurance actually covered?
-
Soldered Mine using alternative dsub connectors, been fine. Couldnt justify £300 for a crimp tool to suit the supplied pins -
This.. "As raaus members we have third party cover. Would that extend to a flight school aircraft." said whilst discussing the Hull insurance excess, You appeared to not understand what 3rd party Insurance covered, but I see someone has explained to you now

I've only had experience with one funke in a friend's aircraft and it was a pita to get adsb out working on it, it had some non standard stuff going on in its firmware and had to be shipped back twice this was some 5 years ago so maybe they sorted that P.S. I can echo the positive earlier comments about Trig Radios. I,ve fitted a few to my own and others aircraft and all have worked well
-
So what if it did?, would make no difference to the case in point as third party doesnt cover airframe you are flying
-
Thanks, learned a few things from that article
-
Some people here need to learn to pay head to the words of the Grand high prophet of the holy noodle.😁

Ground loops await

Dagnabbit!!!.......condemned to become the laughing stock of generations to come🤪
-
No read my post again. What I'm saying is if you jump it and it doesnt fix the radio you still dont know if you have a bad airframe ground. Multiple problems in electrics are common.
-
What an odd way of thinking, running a jumper doesn't tell you whether it actually changed anything if the thing you are trying to fix doesnt show change....unless you put a meter on it before and after
-
Note to admin, can we have a longer time to edit posts, I know it's to preserve context in replies but its ridiculously short. Admittedly its a fault of mine that I often don't explain things properly in my posts and need to edit.
-
I'm sure it takes a fair bit of skill
-
It's actually better for the antenna if it's baseplane is independent to the aircraft ground, though in many aircraft it isn't. P.s. re questioning your airframe grounding, get yourself a cheap multimeter ....no need to go trying jumping stuff blindly
-
Geoff is confusing shielding as you would do to a signal wire to an instrument or P Lead with the outer braid of an Antenna coax which as well as providing shielding of the inner also has to form a baseplane and is connected both ends
-
Whilst it's common for VRs to require the case to be grounded the Carmo makes no mention of doing this. Also did you connect it direct to the battery with no fuse as the Carmo instructions indicate?
