After flying a circuit to the opposite end of the field for saturday coffee club
followed by a fast taxi back to the hangar this morning, couldn't resist pulling
off the inspection hatch to have a closer look; and yes cable alignment was
confirmed as the reason...
John has also fitted formed pads under the bolt heads pinning TP-9 to the cross
tube; not sure if that is a standard feature in the manual but it would spread
the load evenly across the clamping region.

Finally finished up the turbo waste gate servo cable replacement project. I say
project because, while it seem like a straight forward job, the location of
the servo on the tunnel behind the instrument panel makes it a real joy. I really
cant complain too much as the cable was in service for 20 years.

Took Erichs lead and replaced my heavy gearbox wearing warpdrive on my 912S with
the E-prop glorieus 8lb all carbon hydraulic (engine oil) constant speed prop.
Manno! What a different aircraft it is now. Takes off and climbs with all 90hp
now like crazy, and is able to do 145nkots at max continuous (7gal/hr) down low.
Previous relaxing cruise settings give about a 5kn increase for the same fuel
flow too. And the new gearbox internals appreciate the effortless instant
start and stop without the previous typical rotax dog-clank. Much smoother
as well. Terrific performance and ~1lb lighter than the warpdrive and classic
spinner.
Minor nits: controller display goes blank intermittently, and the blades have
more play in the hub than id like (Erich reports no play on his, factory says
its normal). Factory is quite supportive tho.
Best transformative investment to-date.
Cheers,
PeteZ
