the "clear coat" as you call it is just the resin, if you're looking the other photos you will see it has been sanded back so it can accept paint and it now has the matt finish

its all over the news and pprune and Facebook

Yes

The Hanuman model is the way to go, much bigger, faster etc.

X-Air new about $35,000 Hanuman new with 912 is about $55,000 Ninja new with 912 is about $70,000 There is also the Bushcat with 912 for around $75,000 Disclaimer: Pricing is all from memory

What about an X-Air or X-Air Hanuman ? More modern than the Drifter and Thruster. Also maybe the Ninja as well ?

You wont fit the Sapphire

it is made it all the way back from Western Australia where it was for sale so it must have done okay then

News said engine stopped at about 100 feet.

They are a structural part when closed. I was told the fuse will flex way too much without doors. In doubt ? Ask the factory.

you also have to remember that for most aircraft powered by a Rotax 6500 feet is the ideal altitude for performance. Once you go above this than the power from the engine drops off and the propeller loses some efficiency due to the thin air. There was an EAA seminar online about exactly this. I will see if I can find the details

Ugly but also kind of cute. Not sure about the bent keel though, I wonder how much strength or integrity would be removed by bending this tube

where

Must've been a lot of testing and development, some of the photographs have the wingtips down and other photographs have the wingtips up. This was a very early days of ultralight design and manufacture and I guess people were trying all sorts of things. Interesting aircraft and it reminds me a lot of the original design of the Mitchell wing which I would have flown about 30 years ago except I was too tall to get into it

You are doing a fantastic job, it is a very valuable ready source! I read some of these aircraft with so much interest, wonder how some of them even flew, wonder how some of them get the performance they state and wonder why some of them and the longer manufactured. It is a huge undertaking and you enjoy your time away.

Shame because i would LOVE to support Australian

Most owners parked them up never to fly again, One at Heck Field scared the owner so many times he refused to fly it. Something just wasn't right with the performance and handling

Where do i order ! What a weapon !

Why is the Jabiru such a difficult plane to fly? Seems to require above average pilot skills for what is generally a low performance aircraft by comparison with some others.

This was from 8 years ago https://www.change.org/p/australian-federal-government-remove-asic-cards-entirely Only got 1,600 signatures

if you go to the press release on their own news webpage it appears to be mostly dreaming. let's say each of these platforms is worth $6 million then it is a massive investment for a small company which it is unlikely to pay for one aircraft let alone 50. Then they go on to talk about "potential order of up to 50 units" then it says that the information may not prove to be accurate. Neither party undertakes to complete this agreement ? then it mention certification. I might as well stand on my soapbox and shout to the world that I am going to sell tickets to go to the moon and I have already sold 50 tickets! It would have about the same credibility as this press release https://eveairmobility.com/eve-and-sydney-seaplanes-announce-partnership-to-bring-uam-services-to-sydney-with-an-initial-order-of-50-evtols/ Forward-Looking Information Is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty Certain statements in this release may be “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the potential order of up to 50 eVTOLs, the ability of EVE to deliver eVTOL aircraft in 2026, as well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact.

the photo you have is the correct part but what happens over time is they vibrate and the tab that provides pressure ends up coming loose and then nothing flops around. You need to stop it vibrating in the first place

what we used to do to stop them moving around was to hold them on with silicon as one method, and the other method was to slide heat shrink over the fitting and up the wire approximately 50 mm so it would secure the wire a little bit and allow 15 mm to hang over the end of the spade fitting. We would then put a split in the heat shrink just near the fitting opening so you could poke the probe up there and slide the fitting on. When everything was heat shrunk it would close around the probe and it wouldn't allow the fitting to vibrate or move backwards or forwards and fall off because the heat shrink was holding it in place. Worked really well

mmm, unapproved oil lines !
