A friend had this problem for a long time on a Ban-Bi. It was
ultimately solved by fitting a new sprag clutch. I assume you have the
heavy duty starter motor fitted with a good battery and leads which is
the usual cure.

Hi Guys.
Don't know if this has already been discussed but I have treated myself to a
new iphone and wondered what apps other are using? I have already found
aeroweather and met office. Also is the Ipad a useful tool in an aircraft?

You've probably tried this already but I had this problem until I wired in a
push button so that I can start on one mag only. No problems now.

Richard, I have an iPad and love it. It has become my European flying
companion, and I have thrown my old laptop away (or at least given it to my
wife!) I haven't tried using it in the air, preferring to do the time
consuming/distracting bits on the ground, but I guess it would work. The
only snag is that 3G services still cost an arm and a leg on the continent,
so I just use it on the hotel wifi systems. As far as apps go I find World
Aviation weather is great - Tafs & metars instantaneously for anywhere in
the world and put into readily digestible form. Apart from this I haven't
found any to supplant the various weather links on the guernseyaeroclub site
+ a great new site from Leeds (rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/RASPtable.html) which
gives cloud base predictions around the UK, including the channel
Happy Xmas, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Hi all,
I need to buy a battery for my aircraft but don't know much about them! A friend
recommended the Odyssey battery and I know that some people have fitted them
to their Europas.
My question is - which model is suited best to the Europa application? When I
googled Odyssey there was a perplexing array of models/ sizes etc available.
My friend's one is a PC 680. Is that considered to be a good "all rounder" and
suitable for the Europa or are there better, more suited ones available. I
don't want to buy the wrong one!
Thanks in advance, Regards,
Jon

Richard Hi!
I've made my iPhone 3GS a back up device and have the following Apps loaded
.
Some are free, others quite cheap really.
I loaded and use Memory Map with CAA Maps.
The App is free and the CAA Southern Map was =A39.99.
Memory Map supports all CAA 1:500,000 and 1: 250,000 Maps as well as French
Aviation Maps.
Aeroweather (Free and Full versions are available)
NOTAMS
Wind Meter
Altimeter
Horizon
Airspeed
iHeading
A 12V Socket is needed as these Apps tend to drain iPhone battery.
All in all it's a great device and these Apps are well worth loading.
Regards

I have the Odyssey PC 680 fitted under the baggage bay in my 914 powered XS.
The 914 relies on electric fuel pumps, so a battery of known capacity is
part of plan B if the Rotax generator or regulator quit.
I modified our Subaru Legacy to use the same battery, and that works well
too. I replace the PC 680 in the plane about every two years and put the
used one in the Subaru for the next two years. By that time the battery is
starting to show weakness during very cold weather cranking in the car,
it's time to swap again.
The PC 680 costs me about 135 bucks delivered here in California, so it's
not the cheapest solution. But at least I feel like I get good service life
out of them.
Are you replacing a battery or is this a new installation?

Subject: | Re: Icing: 912S versus 912 |
Bonjour Jean-Philippe,
This could be a good bar discussion, fueled by liters of beer...
What is strange here is that flight conditions were apparently not suited for a
significant risk of icing.
Negative OAT and 8C difference with DP makes a quite dry atmosphere. There could
have been anyway a layer close to saturation in altitude, but I am pretty sure
that in the 125h flight hours life of the engine, real potential carb icing
conditions have been encountered apparently without issue.
The rough running could have been related to something else.
I share your question about why 912S may be more prone to carb icing. One reason
of temperature drop in the carb is fuel vaporisation. The higher fuel flow of
the 912S may let think about more risk of icing? And to my level of knowledge
of CV carburettors, this means a higher depression around the diffuser lowering
temperature there as well. Open discussion.....
Anyway I stopped worrying about all that two months ago by installing the Skydrive
carb heat kit. My peace of mind increased a bit.....
