Hi Martin
Me and many other 912/914 users have used Morgan CarbTune ( 2-column system )
http://www.carbtune.com/ with great success.
CarbTune has a stable reading and the two columns are close to each other and therefor
very easy to read.
CarbTune is fairly cheap.
Order one and you will not regret.
Regards

Martin,
>From what I see on the video, the dual needle manifold pressure gauge is
an aircraft instrument as used on twin engine aircraft. That is a very
good but expensive solution unless you can find a used instrument in a
salvage yard.
Good luck.

If you are creative you could make a simple but effective one, using two
clear solid tubes of PVC
and a couple of light plastic balls with a restrictor on one end and the
hose attached to the other
suck a vacuum on both lines and adjust the restrictor so the balls rise in
the tube the same amount so you know
it is reading the same on both tubes.
we used one of these (glass tubes) on older race bikes to tune the carbs to
get the mixtures equal.
The carb tune system mentioned my stephan looks much the same

Hi Folks,
I watched with interest the Rotax-owner.com video on carburetor
synchronization.
Anyone know where one can get the single dial (dual pointer) sync tool
shown on the video.
Lockwood only seem to sell the dual dial version.
Any other tools out there one can use?

Hi Martin,
I have had great success with an electronic differential vacuum gauge
designed for motor cycles. It has variable sensitivity, it is so
sensitive that I can detect the difference in cable length. I have
tubes long enough that I can sit in the seat of the aircraft and run
the throttle up.
You can see them at http://www.ridenow.com/product/detail/TWINMAX.aspx

Martin,
I found my dual pointer MAP gauge at the Oshkosh flea market for $15.

Have you considered a Twinmax balancing gauge - dead simple - works on the differential
pressure between the two manifolds.
Available here USA
http://www.adventurersworkshop.com/twinmax.htm
or here UK
http://www.calamander.co.uk/twinmax/twinmaxmk2.htm
Just remove the balancing pipe and connect one pipe to each manifold. There is
an access hole at the bottom of each Bing carburettor intended for balancing but
its impossible to get at so a bit pointless. Using the manifold connections
is just as good.
We used a twin mechanical vacuum gauge before and it was very hit and miss. First
problem is that no two gauges are the same or equally linear accross the pressure
band. Second is you have to damp out the oscillations caused by the fluctuating
pressures.

It looked like a manifold pressure gauge for a twin-engine 'plane.
Often available on Ebay.
Very expensive solution to get them new!

| Subject: | Monowheel Capture |
Hi Folks,
Can some of you measure the distance that the sides of the ramp comes up and
has contact on the sides of the landing gear frame? Also note if you have
the larger diameter tire. I have the Air Trac tire and the one-off steel
trailer that I bought from Europa USA years ago. The sides didn't come up
very far so I had some extra length added to the side tabs to better capture
the gear frame. Now the brake caliper is hitting when I roll the plane onto
the ramp. So I'll have to cut some off again. It never ends.......

Troy,
I just put my monowheel fuselage onto the Europa trailer this week and
took it to the airport. The only problem was the plates that were
supposed to capture the tailwheel. There was no way to fit them onto
the trailer. Way too much crap in the way. Anywho, when I have an
opportunity I'll run out to the airport and take some pics and
measurements for you.
Good building and great flying,
