  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. So why did you need to call someone to explain what 3rd party insurance actually covered?
  4. Soldered Mine using alternative dsub connectors, been fine. Couldnt justify £300 for a crimp tool to suit the supplied pins
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. So what if it did?, would make no difference to the case in point as third party doesnt cover airframe you are flying
  8. Thanks, learned a few things from that article
  9. Some people here need to learn to pay head to the words of the Grand high prophet of the holy noodle.😁
  10. Dagnabbit!!!.......condemned to become the laughing stock of generations to come🤪
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. I'm sure it takes a fair bit of skill
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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?
  18. Jeez, you just completely contradicted yourself within 2 posts
  19. https://jabcamit.groups.io/g/main
  20. This time?, KHI never really left the sector and have a long and reputable background in Aerospace, google will find faults for anything If you look. wiki has a shortened history you might care to view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Aerospace_Company
  21. Yea I was wondering maybe water jet on something like a large jetski or maybe just a different ratio/auto box for a Skidoo type machine, would make sense then to make the drive accept different output sections
  22. Nonsense, Riders routinely fit noisy aftermarket exhausts to their bikes but standard fitments are generaly not loud, certainly the manufacturers know how to make quiet sports tourer machines and do so. Owners of aircraft aren't gonna be fitting big bore performance pipes or cutting out baffles.
  23. Yea, maybe they want to use that engine for something else as well as the aero version so the gearbox is an add on
