Please tell me I dont need screw on caps on the dcpr8e plugs on a 912uls. I have
always just used the threads and they seem to fit tight. I tried to get one
of my plug wires on a plug with the cap on and it didnt fit!!!!!!!

Rich,
You are exactly right. We are talking apples and oranges here. I bought
some plugs once that didn't have the removable screw caps. Unusable in the
912. I always had to remove the caps to fit under the wire connectors.

You are talking about 2 different animals here. Magnaflux is a magnetic particle
test and will show surface and slightly sub surface discontinuities (with the
thickness of tubing we are dealing with in plane a good AC yolk using wet florescent
mag particle you will be able to see any cracks even on the ID of the
tubing)
Met-l-check is a visible dye penetrant test. This will only show cracks or discontinuities
that are open to the surface on the side you are putting the dye
on.
If you have something that you really want checked using Mag particle, I have a
mag yolk and black light I could ship if you dont want to farm the job out locally.
I can teach a monkey to do MT or penetrant testing in about 20 minutes.
You can also use the mag yolk to de-magnetize the airframe if you have some cross
members giving your compass the fits. Takes me about 30 minutes to demag the
cockpit area and get it to Zero using the yolk and a gause meter.

Hi Rich,
The 912 uses just the thread end and no cap for its plugs.
The DCPR8E plugs come with caps on, but you just unscrew them and bare the threads.
There is a DCPR8E plug out there that the caps don't come off. A friend of
mine accidentally bought some once at a motorcycle shop. I don't know exactly
the difference on these plugs either, but I'm sure there is something different.
Hi Dave,
I would stick with what Rotax recommends. You can't go wrong there. There is a
reason Rotax wanted that type of plug. I do not know exactly why, but I'm sure
they didn't just pull it out of a hat. You can buy NGK's of the type you need
at other locations other than Rotax. NGK made two different plugs for a reason
and if they were the same then why didn't they just make the one?
Just thinking out loud here:
Somethings Rotax are certainly more costly, but some items are costing only pennies
for the number of hours people fly yet they skimp on a certain part. Kind
of like not changing oil or plugs when your supposed to. The owners save pennies
and then wonder down the line why something happened. Must have been Rotax's
fault....
If you read about Rotax engine failures the largest majority by far is owner caused
because some owners want to be experimenters and just don't see why Rotax
would do something a certain way or think one item is interchangeable with another.
If you want to do that sort of experimentation then I think it is ok, just
take the consequences and don't point fingers or complain. If I know positively
an item is identical I might use it, but if I'm not 110% sure I stick with
the Rotax recommendation.
I just try to keep all my clients in the air and not cause any dead sticks or (MIF'S)
failures.
MIF: mecahnic induced failure
I sure everyone here has a personal view on this type of issue.

Thanks Roger
I thought I was OK but when I went to the Rotax Illistrated Parts Cat., it showed
the plugs with the caps on.
