    Rotec TBI problems

    I've read a great deal about Rotec problems and will be using one on my RV6 project. Please note my project has not flown so my comments are based on what I've read, not what I've done, so feel free to do your own research. It appears many problems are the result of turbulent airflow or fuel...

    Victa (Australia) Airtourer 100 (Cont. O-200 powered)?

    The two sticks on a single shaft thing makes a lot of sense, can see where you are coming from for sure. From memory the flight manual had a limitation on solo flight from the left seat only (probably for reaching the flap lever on the left), I was never tempted to disobey it, but flew...

    Victa (Australia) Airtourer 100 (Cont. O-200 powered)?

    I flew an Airtourer 115 (0-235) for roughly 100 hours back in the 90s. Really nice little aeroplane with a few interesting features. As noted it has a centre stick, looks odd initially but after a short time feels normal, and means your legs are pretty comfortable. If not flying you can sit your...

    Roger Druine's own D.31 Turbulent

    Thanks for the link, that's a wonderful video. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but the auto translate of the captions gives an absolutely hilarious commentary only loosely related to what's going on in the video eg "erected in vain word cyrus wood planks which fit perfectly for the two europe...

    Price Gouging - Titan Aircraft

    I would slightly amend this to: See if we can buy one shoe for half the old price of a pair after the price of a pair has been increased.

    Miles Aerovan

    My next door neighbour used to fly an Aerovan many years ago. Very elderly gentleman now but plenty of good stories.

    The small Continental thread

    10/23 Raptor Video

    Since we have gone off on a tangent... I saw this recent thread: PM Spamming There has been so much use of the letters "PM" recently in relation to his Raptorness that I thought initially the thread was relating to PM engaging in non aviation related propositions. I even received one myself...

    LAA plans now on CD

    I bought a set of Turbulent drawings about 20 years ago, I think from memory it was from Rollasons (may be wrong on that), and at that stage they were obviously copies of very worn masters which had a lot of tape repairs around the edges. Perfectly usable but the master copy had clearly done a...

    steel/aluminum contact

    I thought 1970s Land Rovers used something called "engine oil" over everything! That ought to work pretty well!

    RANS S7 Builder in New Zealand

    Hi Phil, I'm from Christchurch (Rolleston), and building an RV. You mention you are using a Toyota starter and alternator on your 0235, what models of Toyota that are seen in NZ did these bits come from, any part numbers for them too? Most of the forums are of course US based so the models...

    0200 pistons

    Hi folks. Have been told chevrolet 327 pistons can be used in an 0200 continental, can anybody confirm this? If so is it a straightforward swap or is there more to it... Thanks
