I looked up the weather for that time at BNA and it appears to have been marginal VFR, to IFR. This sounds a lot like it might have been a VFR into IFR situation without an IFR flight plan.

Â Â Â One other thing to consider which is often a reason bolts "lose torque" is that there was some contamination between the pieces of aluminum when the bolts were first torqued. ...

Bill,
I had a 3300 in my 601XLB and finally gave up when the through bold issue came up. The engine idea is nice but there are many details that are problematic. There seems to be a ...

You might also note that a lot of Jabiru engines will have some head bolts keep moving for up to the first 100 hours. That was my observation. I carefully monitored CHTs and do believe they we ...

Rich,
I has a similar configuration when I had a Jabiru, finally switched
to the Rotac carb but I think one observation may still be significant.
I found that having the airflow come from th ...

Actually, I had a Jabiru 3300 and had the same problem. Even with
everything well sealed in the engine area, it was a problem. I found all
the CO was coming back through the tail. Putting a CO mon ...

Bobby,
Â Â Â As pointed out, to use Zenith's recommended CG limits (which you really should) you do have to start with their datum point. I believe the good news is that the CH601 leadi ...

Tim,
I expect you have already received this from someone but I just
found the note. On mine, with both peddles at the same position, they
are 6 1/8 inch from the aft side (seat side) of th ...

Tim,
I take it you don't have cables to the rudder yet as there is a
specification for rudder travel. I will be at the airport tomorrow and
can look at mine.

Paul,
You might consider that before you change the mixture to save the plugs, getting EGTs under control in the Jabiru is problematic and it sounds like yours are good. Jabirus fund ...

Carlos,
I believe you had asked for the dimensions of the bearing, It is 3/16 ID and 5/16 OD. The full drawing is at:

Mark, I would be interested on that too - but I ...

Carlos,
You are correct, they are missing. I will have to fix it.

Bobby,
Â Â Â I put in ball bearings. I never liked the original setup. It did not seem to be a proper bearing. There are some comments and pictures of it at

Tom,
First, assuming you don't want to consider getting the mechanical pump designed for this engine, I would keep this very simple. A small second (5 AH?) battery that was only conn ...

Don,
For small holes, generally having a good wood backing does the trick. For larger holes (1/4 inch and larger) a step drill works well in thin material (0.035 in and under). Irwin ...
