  1. Actually the std stress test is 7 mins..you can go longer if you want to. I dont have a lot of faith in them after my experience. Angiogram is the best test but that is very invasive This cardiac perfusion test is the next best apparently and not so invasive. There are 2 tests done on the same day over about 5 hours or across 2 days. Mine is the one day. One is they inject you with contrast while you are resting then they do the MRI. The after that you have to twiddle your thumbs for a few hours then they inject a small dose into you again and you get on the treadmill for a stress test to bring the heart up to 85% max and when you are finished they get you in the MRI straight away then hit you with a bigger dose of contrast then image that. They basically compare the resting film with the stress film and they can see what areas are not flowing or pumping correctly also any blockages or even slack chamber pressures etc.. So I will find out tomorrow I suppose
  2. That Zongo engine isnt that cheap anyway...I spoke to them when they popped their head up a few years ago. At the time I think the Rotax was about 28k but the zongo was about 22k...so it wasnt that advantageous to try on a risk
  3. When you do a test there is a nurse and a doctor and another person. You are well monitored well at my cardiologist you are. My one last year I asked how it was and the doctor said..who by the way was same one that did my last one said..."its a carbon copy of the one done in 2018"...so all seems to be ok. But this perfusion test is just for my own peace of mind to make sure as a stress test doesnt actually tell you if there is a real problem. I had a stress test back in 2012 and all was fine so they told me..then 6 months later I am on the table with 4 arteries 90% blocked 3 days after the angiogram
  4. Glen thats easy yes. But I have a Heavy vehicle licence with conditions. Yet I can drive a 64 tonne BDouble through a major city but they say I cant fly any aircraft with 1 pax up to 1500kg. I have a full dual timeslot medical every year from my GP to satisfy the Austroads licence to maintain my heavy vehicle licence AND I have a yearly appointment with a cardiologist and usually a cardiac echo or like last year a stress test and as a matter of fact I am having a cardiac perfusion test this thursday. Realistically I have a far better idea on how I am going than most people flying rec or even VH rec aircraft. Most never know what their bodies are like and what condition. They could drop dead at a pinch and some do. All this costs me about $1000 per year..yet I cant fly a aircraft up to 1500kg and 1 pax according to CASA My DAME signed me off for a Basic Class 2 a few of years ago as he was happy with all my blood tests and also all my results of my ticker. I need to go back and see if I can get it again as it has lapsed but I am hearing CASA would reject it even though it is the DAME's decision
  5. I just registered for it...I want to hear what they say and I am going to hit them up with some real world facts and see what they say
  6. 11/07/23 Modified pitot mount bracket and riveted to rib #6. Marked-up and cut pitot mounting holes in lower LH wing skin. Vacuumed swarf from wing cavity. 2.1h
  7. What about on those days like like riding a rollercoaster or just outright bumpy all the time..then its almost useless...cant beat sight gauges...but a low wing is a issue...capacitive type would be a better solution I think
  8. I dont know about your assumption of number 1...I know plenty that dont have positive pressure into the fuel tank. I actually made my own pressure sender and trialed it on a tank similar to the belite system about 2 years ago. It used the weight of the fuel as the pressure value....in all the testing I did on it I deemed it a failure. G forces on the fuel threw it all totally out. I used a high end 4-20ma pressure sensor and placed it in the bottom of a 10 litre tank and a 20 litre tank..did some real world testing on it using code I wrote just to monitor the values of the sensor...it was not stable enough for my liking. I looked for some pics I took but cant find them...I may have them on my work computer and I will have a look tomorrow. I say you cant beat sight gauges though.
  9. How can your internal fuel tank not be at the ambient pressure...It does have a breather..that keeps the tank at the ambient pressure
  10. Skippy its called research..if you went and found out how the sensors worked and usually with some searching of google images you will see how to hook up the sensor. You re trying to set it with a dynon skyview...wouldnt it make sense to ask Dynon for some guidance?..if they cant give you any then its up to you to see if you can sort it out. It may not be possible due to the way Dynon does its inputs. You will then need to see what ADC is used for the Dynon inputs or if all their gear is CAN bus or RS232...dont know. I would have to do the required research to make it all hook up just like I am suggesting you do. You are trying to do something that is not normally done so you have to make your own roadmap then
  11. 26/06/23 Trimmed stringer and notched around truss. Clecoed bottom skin to ribs and stringer. Drilled leading edge to front spar. Removed skin, deburred and dimpled. Microstop countersunk main spar and clecoed skin back to front spar, ribs and stringer. 4.6h
  12. On a new engine you will have got the terminals required in the small cardboard box supplied with the engine. at least for the ignition shutdown which is shown in your picture. Separate wires are run back from those 2 modules back to the 2 switches on your panel.
  13. The softstart inputs on the module are just joined together then a wire run back from those two inputs to the coil energising wire of the solenoid. There should only be 12v on the softstart wire while the starter solenoid is engaged. One the solenoid is not in use and there is no 12V on that point the input of the CDI there is a timing circuit inside it that holds the genuine Rotax units for about 6 seconds in full retard. After that 6 seconds then the engine switches to full advance and stays there until the engine is eventually shutdown after running or flight
  14. Doing the modified cowl for Mabel was a friggin nightmare......I have a new most hated job now
  15. I have the terminals if you want some That will be the kill sw wire it will be under the oragnce wire coming from the CDI module side. The mauve/purple wire at the CDI end is softstart is that a new engine?
  16. Been cold in the workshop at night so havent done a lot in there. The twin stick coupling cover has been finalised and now carpeted. I have the cover attached. I put 3mm rivnuts into the floor and the cover nicely screws down and is super solid. The roof ribs are now painted and set onto the cabin overheads. The windscreen has been trimmed and also all drilled and also the roof section and all clecoed This week I will be reinstalling the ballistic chute box I made and getting the chute mounted and fitting the chute actuator. Not sure where that will end up yet. Some are on the top of the dash others are in front of the pilot on the cross member...so will make that decision later
  17. Go to facebook and look up AOPA Australia..look at te last 3 videos Ben Morgan has done..watch the first one done 3 days ago then the next a day ago and the last one today. ....Its a eye opener especially the guy with the foxbat in RAA and has a defib
  18. If you hook it up wrong I doubt it would be replaced under warranty....thats not in any manufacturers pervue
  19. Thats probably a 4-20ma sender. Is there any numbers on the sender? some are 0.5 to 4.5V analogue style though
  20. If it is the stickon type plastic sensor they are either a serial data out of a open collector transistor
  21. You will find any aircraft wet hire will have to operate as a certified aircraft. Its a different matter if you have a mate who has a aircraft and "lets" you fly it. it does not have to be a certified aircraft. The only thing is though that you would usually be named on his insurance policy...if he has one of course and also how many hours you have up will be taken into account for that policy. If its not insured then be prepared to soak up the bill for any repairs if you damage it though.
  22. My later version flap bracket had deeper notches...it made the engagement a lot more positive and highly unlikely to ever jump out even after a lot of wear.
  23. 02/06/23 Trimmed, deburred and clecoed Flap and Aileron Gap Seals to Rear Spar. Riveted final four rows of LH Wing upper skin rivets to ribs. Riveted Gap seals to Rear Spar. Upper skin of LH Wing complete. 4.4h
  24. 31/05/23 Riveted LH upper wing skin to ribs, fuel tank supports and stringers up to 4th last row. Match drilled upper flange of rear spar. Deburred rear spar and wing skin. 5.4h
