Emergency Engine Start Devises
Thruster88 replied to skippydiesel's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Um... -
According to the final report the only fault with the power plant was a stuck waste gate on the left turbocharger. The throttle would still have been capable of controlling the manifold pressure to get a desired percentage of power.

Emergency Engine Start Devises

It keeps full charge for months at a time, couple of jump starts and it will be at 50-75%. There is a DC out 12v/10A round style connection plus USB and mini USB type C. -

I bought this one Jump Starter 2000A Portable 12 Volt Car battery Heavy duty high booster Rooboost WWW.EBAY.COM.AU Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Jump Starter 2000A Portable 12 Volt Car battery Heavy duty high booster Rooboost at the best online prices at eBay! about a year ago. I thought they were a bit of a joke with the size of cables. First job was to start the 7 litre Cat tractor that would barely turn over, started like it had new batteries. Works well as a power bank for charging phones. -
Wyreema 8nm south of toowoomba is the closest ad with contact info.

More FAA Part 103 Saga…..
Thruster88 replied to jackc's topic in U.S.A. FAA FAR Part 103 and Basic Flying Machines's Topics
I bought a nice condition totally original single seat Thruster last year for only 5k aud. New 103 kits are at least 15k us. Not sure there is demand anymore for the simple machines. -

They may have this aircraft -
You are not thinking this correctly. The only thing that matters is percentage of power. Two identical aircraft one with fixed pitch the other with a constant speed flying at the same climb or cruise speed at 75% power will be burning the same amount of fuel and loading the cooling system the same. Only difference will be the rpm on the constant speed may be lower, or it could be the same, the pilot has that control. The rpm of the prop will not effect cooling air flow, only air speed matters, if both aircraft are at 75% power airspeed and therefore the cooling will be the same.

With my farming background I see a field of soybeans. Soybeans have to be harvested with the cutter bar on the ground, they even have flex Draper headers now for a close cut. Soybeans are planted leaving the field completely flat and are often rolled after seeding for more flatness. I see an incipient stall spin. Training may help but history shows it is not always effective. -
If I recall correctly there was some discussion about the original location of the heat exchanges and why that might be problematic.

Trevor is still the wallet salesman king. Can't believe the vid is still up. Just keeping it aviation.

We won't be able to call it part 103, that is already in use. https://www.casa.gov.au/search-centre/rules/part-103-casr-sport-and-recreation-aircraft The pic on the header of this thread is me living the dream, no license, registration or training. 1984 the year the AUF started. -
The 152 will have the same LAME maintenance in RAAus if group g ever gets airborne. The same aircraft logbook will continue on.

It definitely does if th VH aircraft has a MTOW less than 1500kg, that was covered in the first and second email reply.

I may be one of the pilots operating with an expired BFR. On two occasions recently RAAus have emailed me stating my BFR has expired and I have emailed back x2 the proof I would produce if ramp checked that my AFR is current for the VH and RAAus aircraft I fly. The RAAus record is still showing an expired BFR. I guess my crime is doing last BFR in aircraft with instructor not a member of RAAu$

Will have to check it out. RFguy and I are going this year, another bucket list item done. The Thruster T500 that I have owned since '90 was demonstrated at oshkosh in '88.

The method of repair depends on how you want your engine bay to look.
