Do I really need to upgrade my Pilon+Lower boom

I got some feedback from the manufacturers. Apparently I still have the old type Pylon and Lowerboom on my trike. Aliminium inside aliminium tube. The new spec is a steel inside an aliminium tube. This trike has been flying like this since '87. Will the trike be that much stronger with new spec tube...

Re: Justin's Raven

JAB2200 motor is treating us perfectly. 2 things that bothers: 1.) BING carb. for some reason we can't get this carb/engine to be responsive through complete trotlle settings 10%-WOT. Also the altitude compensation don't seem to work all the time. Sometimes I struggle at 8000ft, and running well on ...

steering damper for trike frontwheel?

where can i buy a steering damper for a trike? New or used ? Any idea of the cost? How much will a damper help for the stability of the frontwheel on the landing? Provided the wheel is correctly inflated at 0.9 bar?

Thanks

Hi Boet, Ek maak sommer net 'n grap oor die spinner....jou spinners lyk vrek mooi! Huidiglik met die tandestokkie gee hy my so 90-95 MPH (IAS) op 15lph. En as ek my gps so dophou, average ek gewoonlik 'n 100MPH (TAS) <as die wind ons nou nie wegwaai nie :lol: > Gebasseer op die figures kry ek so 10....

Hi Boet, Dankie vir die info! As "oom" Piet vir my 'n prop maak........watter tipe spoed (in jou opinie) behoort ek te kan haal? Weet jy of hy dalk 'n paar prototipe props het wat mens eers kan toets en dan sien of die verskil in spoed die prys van 'n nuwe prop werd is? vhpy Ek sal bietjie vir Morph...

Re: Dirk & Martyn's RAVEN (2200 Jabiru): ZU-FFZ

Don't have EGT's fitted....only CHT's Yes, if I throttle back ... the rought running seems to go away. There a slight possibility that the float level might be at 12mm instead of 11mm. Maybe that is contributing as well. This is a new spec engine (85hp) with BING carb....and I assume they came out w...
