Spoke too soon when I said great service with my trim kit. Two weeks now
and no sign of any parts, not even debited my card. In the mean time my
exemption days are burning away. I have only two weeks left now.
I've been working on the oil cooling issue and after fitting and exit
baffle the temperature is under control until I exceed 2800. Going to
duct some air to the cooler now to increase the delta in temperatures.
The air the cooler is seeing has already been well warmed by the engine.
Head temperatures are fine with the addition of the cowling exit baffle
as fitted and recommended by Dave McCorquodale, nice one Dave!
I've fitted a pair of capacitors and a ferrite bead to the old Falcon
turn and bank power supply and that's sorted the radio problem. Still
having issues with my local ATC and my mode S transponder. They did a
check with an approaching airliner and he was getting steady readings on
his TCAS so maybe the problem isn't mine. I am getting ticking from the
TXP on the radio, not load, I ran the antenna cables together which is
apparently the cause so a re route needed to stop the pick up.
General performance of the Esqual is good but it's suffering from lack
of fairings and spats, the real joy is to swing it about the air,
compared to my Jabiru it's a different world!
Going to take the plane to the LAA next week in it's current form (fixed
trim tabs) to prove the stability is OK and hopefully move forward with
the potential UK permit. Fingers crossed!
Regards, Clive
