As far as i know the reason for the twists in the flying wires effects the DYHEDRAL of the wing . The more dyhedral the more stable the wing but also more difficult to make it roll into a turn. Dyhedral is increased by twisting the wires more times and vice versa. Aquilla has 3 turns as far as i can...

Thanks for the info Grostek.
the diameter of the strut is a fixed 35 mm so i cannot change that unless i do mods to the engine bracket. Increase in the wall thickness should be definately better then the existing pipe they fitted on without doing too many changes.

Thanks again

This is just the follow up as to the accident of my cubby ZU -DWY at Baps earlier this year. I am now in the process of making sure that the nose wheel is made more sturdier than the existing one. On close inspection i noticed that the wall thickness of the nose wheel tube differed at the place wher...

Hi Tandemtod1

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Yes i did fit the pressure line with the high pressure filter and have also fitted the second fuel pump with a pressure gauge to ensure i got pressure on the line at all times.
Will keep you updated.

Thanks very much for the info. Much appreciated. Will make a turn at Gotech for the extra pump.
Take care

Can any one tell me whats the pressure generated by the fuel pump on a cubby and must it have a fuel filter that is specifically designed for that pressure? The other question is whats the reason for a momentary oil temp drop of approx 10 deg C during flight and after a minute going back to approx 9...

Whilst working on my cubby i had a chance to look under the panel of my tri cubby as it was due for a filter change and the rest of the service for my annual ATF. i see that the cubby is running on one fuel pump. There is no redundancy should the system fail either by loosing its supply or pump fail...

A week or two ago i got in touch with one of the guys from McDonalds Engineering, which was providing the VW engines for the cubby at one time. In the process i told them i would like to get some drawings and engine data which might assist in maintenance in the future. The operators manual i got fro...

In terms of fuel usage on a Cubby.....i have been adviced to use 93 Unleaded with WM Penn valve ease product.
Can anyone comment..

I am trying to get hold of the suppliers for the VW Engine used in the tri-cubby. it use to be Keith McDonald from McDonald Engineering..

well if the std hks is in access of 10000 usd than i am sure they will not be too lenient with the turbo version

Good Day CUBBY owners, great to hear there are some boys out there that fly this great looking local airy. I came across the forum recently as i have purchased a tri cubby a month ago. As yet i do not have a licence on it (i am a trike pilot) so no cross countries with the boys any time soon. Will s...

sooooooo, now that you got all the info....Bapsfontein's Freedom Flight school is waiting for you..
