Re: Fuel Octane

Yip, do not use LRP, lots of dirty additives there, just use the normal unleaded dinojuice whit superior 2-Stroke oil of your choice.

Flight Duration

Hi All

Is it normal for the hobbs meter to take time and add to Flight Duration when motor is idling? This is on my Aquilla 582 Bluetop. I was once told that it should only read the time above 2000rpm. Is this correct?

MTO Sport Gyro Insurance

Anyone had any luck trying to insure one of these? Apparently insurance is no more available for this specific type. It was stopped about 2/3 weeks ago. Please pm me.

Re: Acceleration problems on 582?

Hi Piet, have you had a look at the jets, maybe something stuck there, all I can think of after all the trouble you went through. When idling fine, but as soon as the feul surges through, it blocs the jet.

Re: Mag reading zero

Thanks Justin, is it just loose wiring or is something broken then? Not that mechanical minded as I wished.

Mag reading zero

Hi All,

I have a Aquilla 582 Blue top, digital instruments. Started her up, tested the mags. The Mags both work independently like they should, but on the one mag no reading, just 0000RPM (still running smoothly). Any suggestions?
