Hi! Jac
I have a noise statement but for the MT Propeller on my Jabiru Power
Plant. Obviously it would not be of any use to you in Holland......BUT
interestingly during our trip round the Baltic in the Summer we returned
through Munster Osnabrook and we underwent an Airside Paperwork
Inspection.
All was well except the "Inspector" as a parting shot said I should get
the MT Propeller Document converted to a British one since to apply it
to a British Registration A/C was not suitable for purpose. Being
diligent, on return I contacted the CAA at Gatwick and explained my
demise having spent a considerable sum of time and fuel going to
Straubing (Bavaria) to submit to the extremely professional test by MT
Propellers would they give me a conversion document? Reply.........
"Since the noise certificate is not a UK requirement on the Permit to
Fly Light Aircraft they were unable to offer any help and even if I
submitted to the expense of another noise test in the UK there is still
not a document in existence to apply to this class of aircraft". MY
reply was probably unprintable and akin to my recently saying "the
French Authorities should take their heads from up their anus!"
At present the German Authorities have accepted my Noise Certificate to
reduce the landing charges and to date the Dutch haven't levied any
increase! So it would seem there is a gaping hole in communication
between the UK CAA and Germany and you seem trapped with a similar hole
between your Dutch Authority and the rest of Europe perhaps?
Me'thinks it's about time these people started "earning their corn" and
became more positive to the confounded problems they generate by
producing pure bullshit and paperwork.
In the meantime Jac I believe the Europa Club have a document which
"with tongue in cheek" just may help you but technically such a
certificate should only apply to the one aircraft which has been tested.
I have copied Dave Bossomworth in on this message and perhaps he will
assist in seeing that the responsible person will contact you?
Regards and Happy Christmas. (BTW whilst you are waiting for the
paperwork you could get on making that chutney!)

Can anyone bring some light how to detach the warp drive from a 912ULS ?
Spinner is of, bolts are of, prop is still on, nothing so far in the warp

Hi Glenn,
Interesting stuff though probably more for those coming much further down
the road than we current builders. I downloaded the video (52megs!). While
mostly a promo piece for the company's stock, it gives a fair amount of
useful info on the engine itself. In these days or high gas prices, there's
nothing wrong with the prospect of a technology that would make current
piston technology obsolete.
BTW, how's that new panel working out?

Hey Dan!
Good to hear from you. Hope you're tearing along on your project!
The panel looks great! I can't afford to populate it with goodies yet
however!
The white hot military UAV market is fueling all kinds of engine
development right now. For 50 yrs or more, there has been no
interest in non-jet engine technology from the military. Thats all
changed now of course, the CIA wants extremely light weight,
quiet and powerful engines for UAV's. Jets just don't cut it in this
area.
The spooks want to plant an RFID chip with GPS transmitters on
any known Islamofascist or bad guy, trail him with a micro UAV for
weeks on end to learn all his contacts, then fry him while he's
sleeping. They can already do it, they just want to do it more
cheaply. This story should convince anyone:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10303175/
Officials: CIA missile strike kills al-Qaida No. 3 - International Terrorism
- MSNBC.com
All this new engine technology should filter down to us air
experimenters eventually, unless there are so many UAV's flying
around that they have to eliminate all non military
airspace use!

We may not be able to afford these engines. They can't charge the
military one price, and us about half of that. Our Defense Contract
Audit Agency tends to raise an issue there. Perhaps that's why the
price increases on the Rotax 914 have rather hefty in recent years.
When you start selling to the military, seems your costs just....go way
up. :-)

When I installed my propeller it went on bolt hole inserts. These little cylinders
slipped into the back plate and the other end extended into the propeller
hub. The fit was very tight. Use a little "force" to drive the hub off the backing
plate.

David,
I was taught that too.
Only it's wrong!
However, good absorbers often radiate more because, being good absorbers,
they get hotter. But at equal surface temperatures the emissivity of the
lighter colours is not much different.
Rgds.,
Duncan.

In fact, according to the table (The Normal Total Emissivity of Various
Substances) in "Chemical Engineers' Handbook" black lacquer and white
lacquer have identical emissivity in the range of 100 to 200 deg F. The
range is from 0.80 (at the lower temperature) to 0.95.
Bare aluminum at room temperature is in the range of 0.04 to 0.06 depending
on the surface condition.

The prospect has been around for a while, since before the piston
engine...was it in 1816 the good Father Sterling thought of his engine
which still has a potential 60% efficiency against the 10 ish % of the
petrol piston- NASA use it on sattelites for power supply but every
application needs a lot of development.
We just need to convince India or China to do it, nobody else has the
sense and might to do it.
