The flywheel will only mount to the crankshaft in one way. The timing
marks should be indented on the flywheel itself. Maybe I am not
understanding your problem. Did you remove something? Was it the
flywheel or a distributor? If it is the distributor, then move number
one piston to TDC, rotate the distributor rotor so that it will point to
the number one pole plug wire on the distributor and then insert the
distributor into the drive hole making sure the rotor does not turn. Let
me know if that is it.

Hi all,
I haven't posted in many moons but here is my problem..
I've 'lost' my flywheel and TDC orientation to the electronic timing
gear thats mounted on the flywheel.
Could one of you fellow NSI engine owners for the EA-81 engine please
tell me in what orientation
the 'home notch' (where 3 teeth are missing) goes in relation to the
flywheel when it's TDC on the # 1 cylinder?
I have tried 2 different positions out of four possible ( I'm not going
to Vegas this year.) and it is sputtering and
backfiring like its timing problems.
Photos would be nice but if you can give an O'Clock orientation as seen
from the front that would be good also.
Thanks again, Jeff Smathers KF5 Molalla, OR

Yes, I have just seen it on the Norwegian television, tonight. Now, I don't want
to to sound arrogant toward a professional pilot with thousands of hours but
...
To me, it looks like he is coming in crabbing, then righten up with the runway
at the last second. The left rudder movement plus the side wind lifts the right
wing up and the left wing is so close to the ground that an accident is barely
avoided.
With my tiny Kitfox, I have train for that and come in in a side slip, keeping
the windward wing low and a foot on the other pedal, ready to avoid weathercocking.
It means, of course, to land on only one gear, the windward one. I have
done it as a training and the most wind (from the nearby ATIS) I have experienced
is 12 knots. Nothing in comparison to this aircraft but ... probably the most
I dare to experience with my Kitfox 3.
Again, I don't want to be arrogant; just saying what I would have done if I was
him. Please, fire at me; I hope to learn in the process.

If I'm not mistaken, airline procedures typically call for the 'crabbing' technique
as some heavies can easily touch an engine or wingtip down when using the
slipping technique and getting close to the ground.

Yes! Those are some beautiful, seemingly, unmanageable cross-wind landings!
I can almost hear Kurt singing praises to the virtues of the great 777. In
some of those clips, it almost seems like the main gear extends down ahead
of the rest of the fuselage to meet mother earth and grab hold of terra firma.
Like a giant eagle clawing for her perch. One clip looks like the nose
pivots 20 degrees before planting the nose gear parallel to the center line.
Awsome!

MessageRick/Jeff, I've attached the instructions for the trigger wheel
mounting and also the schematic for the entire ignition system.
Hopefully this will help. Also, take a close look at your ignition
wires as it's possible you may have one or more of them installed
incorrectly.

Subject: NSI EA-81 Timing problem
I'm not aware of any NSI EA-81 engines with a distributor. They have
electronic dual ignition modules by Electromotive. I believe what Jeff
is referring to is the trigger wheel that is attached to the flywheel.
I'll go out this evening to check my books and see if I can find the
proper positioning of the trigger wheel.

The flywheel will only mount to the crankshaft in one way. The timing
marks should be indented on the flywheel itself. Maybe I am not
understanding your problem. Did you remove something? Was it the
flywheel or a distributor? If it is the distributor, then move number
one piston to TDC, rotate the distributor rotor so that it will point to
the number one pole plug wire on the distributor and then insert the
distributor into the drive hole making sure the rotor does not turn. Let
me know if that is it.

Hi all,
I haven't posted in many moons but here is my problem..
I've 'lost' my flywheel and TDC orientation to the electronic timing
gear thats mounted on the flywheel.
Could one of you fellow NSI engine owners for the EA-81 engine
please tell me in what orientation
the 'home notch' (where 3 teeth are missing) goes in relation to the
flywheel when it's TDC on the # 1 cylinder?
I have tried 2 different positions out of four possible ( I'm not
going to Vegas this year.) and it is sputtering and
backfiring like its timing problems.
Photos would be nice but if you can give an O'Clock orientation as
seen from the front that would be good also.
Thanks again, Jeff Smathers KF5 Molalla, OR

Jeff,
I saw the emails from the others. I think Rick is right, the flywheel only
mounts one way. One thing to try first is to switch the wires coming from
the pickups. I had the same symptoms you write about and I had the two
ignitions switched. It sounds strange since it is supposed to be 180
degrees out from each other but it worked for me.
Mike

I always land every that I've flown in a slip. This covers general aviation, fighters
and airline. I learned on a tailwheel and that's the only way Dad would
allow landing. I have found no reason to use any other technique. The max
cross wind was in the sim with a MD11 was 90 degrees at 50kts.
My question to the pilot of that Airbus is why did he even attempt to approach
let alone land while there was a storm that produce 155mph wind?! Life is
too short, not to mention careers. A professional pilot would have been miles
away sipping on something!
