  1. Yesterday
  2. I had tried to order some from Amazon. After having the shipping pushed back a couple times, and waiting for over six months they finally just cancelled my order.
  3. I went ahead and bought four. I needed to replace some ones I've used. Amazon used to be a place to buy them, but the prices have all gone up.
  4. I would have done that, but I couldn't seem to copy and paste from my tablet last night.

  6. Which NGK plugs caps are you using ? The Rotax ones are a bit too pricey
  7. Are you a student or instructor at the flight school at Uljin, Bongsan-Ri?
  8. Last week
  9. SO, the question remains - what are you mounted to on the aircraft? Pretty sure I still see the tie down ring there.
  10. Topic: This presentation covers the causes of vapor-lock in Rotax engines. On Monday, March 18, 2024 at 18:00 Eastern Daylight Time (15:00 PDT; 16:00 MDT; 17:00 CDT; 12:00 HST; 14:00 AKDT; 15:00 Arizona; 22:00 GMT) Register at: https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=127437
  11. Sorry to revive an old post but am curious about doing this now. My main question is even though you did not see a reduction in stall speed did you see improved aileron control before stall speed with the VG’s over the wing when you had them in front of the aileron?
  12. New in box, never unwrapped decided not to install. New on Spruce or Pacific Avionics, Retail, etc is $5,195. Selling for $4,500 which is what I paid for it and I'll even include shipping. Text or call me 425-750-2619 Keith
  13. Okay, I checked it at the airport this morning. When I'm in the seat there is about two inches between the seat back and the bulkhead.
  14. I don't know if Flight Design has it's own version of SkyView software. If it does, this forum or Airtime Aviation would be good resources. If yours is a general configuration - not configured by Flight Design as Vans RV is - then you might try the Dynon forum. https://forum.flydynon.com Servus.
  15. I have updated Skyview software to ver. 16.6 and the system does not connect to Skyview AP servos after the update. I have an error message 'Skyview Network Connection Fault - Data 1 Pair (Pins 1 & 6). Please see the attached screenshots. It is a 9 years old CTLS Jubilee (European version) which worked perfectly well so far - I updated the software from version 12, for the first time. I tried Network Configuration/Detect on both displays separately as recommended by Dynon and Flight Design, it is still there. Dynon suggests to check wires one by one (?). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jack.
  16. Yes, the strap should always be under tension supporting the seat. The seat is designed to be supported at 3 points. The two seat rails, and where the strap attaches. If it is being supported anywhere else it will break the seat. It basically hinges on the pins in the rails, and hangs on the strap.
  17. Update - I received and installed the new modules and so far all good with the engine. I did check the “old” modules again and I was having 1 module fail on me after a 5 to 10minute run up. This has happened on about 5 separate run ups. All good for the first roughly 10 minutes and “mag” check all good … and then complete failure on 1 module. (Engine quit) So basically in my case, my 1 module is failing only after “warming up”.
  18. uh, maybe you are. snug is not the objective. the objective is supported by the strap alone.
  19. Hah- too bad, I would have loved a CT buddy
  20. I'll have someone look at it when I'm sitting in it tomorrow and make sure it's all good. So there should always be some tension in the strap holding the seat up?
  21. Great story and congratulations on your CT! You’ll love all of the information on this forum!
  22. I didn’t understand the strap either when I bought my SW. Sounded like the seat pan was already cracked when I bought it, but I definitely made it worse. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard to fix the cracks, and since the work was covered, it didn’t have to be pretty.
  23. If you are in the second hole you can have the strap tight, and the seat will be sitting almost straight up. Or you can loosen it some and recline the seat a little. Put a little pressure on the seat bottom, and make sure the seat back is not touching the bulkhead. As long as it is not touching you are good.
  24. Shiny. Funny you should ask. I live in the Tulsa, OK area. I just moved from Hillsboro over by the Hillsboro airport.
  25. Welcome to the CT world Mark! Where do you live?
  26. I'm late to this thread. But I had a very Merry Christmas. Long story long: My wife had been pretty sick the couple of months leading up to Christmas, and she was basically house bound. She didn't really do anything to get the house ready for Christmas. I did all the cleaning, decorating, and tree erecting/trimming. She didn't do anything about getting me any presents, since she was so run down. But, me being the good husband that I am, I was getting her presents all year long. She saw something she liked? It was picked up and went into the workroom closet. She mentioned something she thought was cool that her coworkers had found? Into the closet. So, two weeks before Christmas, presents starting appearing under the tree with her name on them. Come Christmas Eve, her stockings were full and there were lots of presents under the tree, but all for her and nothing for me. Now, in November I had learned about the Vashon Ranger, and was looking at it. Not as an "I'm going to buy that!" kind of thing. I just thought it was really cool, given it's history and that it could be bought brand new for what I would consider a not too unreasonable price. After all, I am still working on a Challenger II project. I talked about the Ranger, and she kind of rolled her eyes at me since I have been taking so long on the Challenger (my second one). So, on Christmas Eve my wife looked at me after the latest present had appeared under the tree and said, "Why don't you go ahead and buy your airplane." So I started to look and see if there were any Rangers in the area that I could check out. I also was considering an RV-12. I went to the local Rotax shop a few days later to talk about getting work done on my 503, and they had an RV-12 in the hangar. I asked if I could sit in it, and found that the RV-12 was a little cramped for me. But they did have a CTSW in the hangar also, and I asked to sit in that. Much better! Several people at the local airport had been telling me about the CT's, but I wasn't really enthused when they had suggested them. But sitting in the CTSW was changing my mind. So when I left their hangar, I drove down the street to talk to the Airtime Aviation guys. Tom Sr. spent a little while talking to me, even though they were really still closed for the holidays, and told me what might be available. I took a demo flight with Tom Jr., and now I have a CTLS.... So, yeah. I had a Merry Christmas!
