Starting thread for this week.



Our condition inspection continues, but attending several Gillmore Keyboard Festival events each day really slows progress!  We did get the fuel flow transducers relocated to the rear which will hopefully increase accuracy.

Another day of crap conditions... Pulled the lid off the engine compartment and measured up all the hoses for the five year change out... paused to acknowledge the enormous internal void above the motor 🤔🤔...  went back to the computer screen to research OEM equivalent source stock; mission accomplished. OE oil hose sourced for $0.2345/cm instead of rotax dealer's $1.50/cm; japanese OE Carbi mount rubbers sourced for 1/3rd rotax dealer price; OE carbi overhaul kits sourced for 1/10 rotax dealer price; OE oil filter sourced 1/2 rotax dealer price... not 100% certain yet on the BCD fuel pump; found something that looks uniquely the same... will be giving Gates Barricade a try on the fuel hose; getting a bit over the stench of benzine and toluene left on anything that gets placed in the cockpit for more than ten minutes. If that fails to work then will be going straight to solid teflon lines.... main coolant hoses look like a bit of fun to match up; will start with austin7 or hillman imp and keep moving up the list from there.

fwiw, "solid teflon lines" unless carbon impregnated potentially end up with pinholes due to static discharge.

Cheers,
