I am 110 kitted out she 68 fuel 45L =- 223kgs. A slight bit of relief Peter . . . . in that the specific gravity (or relative density) of gasoline ranges from 0.71–0.77 kg/litre. For 95 unleaded we normally use 0.737 kg/litre, so that would have meant your fuel load was 45 litres x 0.737 kg/litre =...

I can not get it clear in my mind how the logistics of a 100 aircraft fly pat will work (**) (**) Do you mind sharing your plan with us? Agreed, I was pondering the same . . . . . please excuse my ignorance, but: Will trikes take off two at a time, side-by-side (Waterkloof could handle that, right?...

Post away Peters! Thank you for being so bold as to share this with us. YES, we want to learn from each other's mistakes. Just glad nothing came of your incident!! (^^) (If in the wrong index the moderators will move it) Thanks again, and I look forward to learning from you. Safe Skies (-) John

Hey Justin! I agree . . . . it takes me back to that point in time when we transitioned from the good old carburator and sparkplug/distributor cap cars, in which we could maintain and repair them with our eyes closed, to the moden computer controlled fuel-injected engines in today's cars, in which w...

Improved directional control . . . Yes! Reduction (slight) in wingtip vortices, therefore slight reduction in drag, therefore slight improvement in speed . . . Yes! BUT, 10mph extra speed? I doubt it? That for R7K? NO!!! :shock: I feel that this is tantamount to these armchair cyclists who go out an...

Hi Fellow Rotax Tiffies!

Please PM me your details and I will make sure that we get this much needed Rotax maintenance training.

Thanks Duck for initiating the training.

I will continue with all communications with Comet.

Although not something we do every day, some of us less experienced trike aviators might find this document useful to keep with our operating manual. Trike Wing Set Up and Take Down.pdf Clearly each trike and wing will have idiosyncrasies but this will give you a 90% feel for the steps needed to set...

Hi Mario, Not sure if such a "list" exists. Most trike manufacturers will manufacture "wings to order", but typically for the makes and models of trikes which they manufacture and sell. An example is Solo WIngs (now Micro Craft Africa http://www.solowings.co.za/ 031 700 280six) that manufacture for ...
