> I get bad interference with the radio from my Jabiru. Obviously need a
suppressor.
Ummm... maybe a suppressor would be the best choice. But maybe not. I have
been into 4x4s. We use radios a lot. And stereos. I have read several VERY
interesting write-ups on successful noise suppression. 4x4 Yahoo groups
might supply some good ideas for you. The basic lesson I learned is that
noise suppression CAN be a a whole mess of things that need attended to. And
maybe not, in your case. I can't recite for you the list of things people
do, but I can give you just a taste...
- try to eliminate noise at the source, not just at the receiving end.
- use the right sort of quality ignition wires, make sure they are installed
properly and are supported properly.
- make sure you understand what you are doing if you install shielding on
your secondary ignition wires. They can work or not work.
- Use by-pass capacitors liberally on power supply lines.
- Ground metal parts, metal sheets, wires, frame sections, etc
- Ground any metal doors. We want to make sure we are not re-radiating a
noise signal.
- be careful of un-terminated or dangling wires that can transmit noise.
- pay special attention to ignition parts; cases and shielding need to be
tight and secure and grounded.
- use by-pass capacitors AT LEAST on the generator. There are other more
complex and expensive noise-elimination items that may be needed here too.
- power supply lines may need a conditioner (your suppressor?). IIRC this
will probably contain capacitance AND reluctance.
At this time of night I can't remember any more off hand.
Please don't believe half of what I wrote- I am trying to recall the flavor
of the suggestions. Personally I would research the issue more closely.

The fella I bought my Firestar from told me his best luck was ANR ear buds
worn under normal noise suppression headsets, or was it shooting headsets?
Anyway, that was his chosen path.

Thanks George,
that will do to be going on with.

noise stops`

I finished construction of my Firefly one year ago. I also moved to a new house
with enough land to build a 900' grass strip. Bought a tractor to build and maintain
the strip and had a hanger built. And then the plane sat for a year because
I could find no training. As a GA pilot I was worried about the transition
to a light weight high drag aircraft. Well after looking at it for a year I
decided bend it or not I might as well give it a try. Made the first flights
about 2 weeks ago. Left here ( Argyle NY ) and flew to a much longer grass strip
to practice. At the end of 2 to 3 hrs. flight time I was able to return home.
A very nice flying little airplane, however I do not think it is possible to
overstate how fast it will stop flying and fall out from under you on final.
I have spoken to other local pilots, and their are numerous stories of bent or
smashed landing gear. We also lost a local ultralight pilot last week, he crashed
100 yards from his runway. We need rule changes that will allow and encourage
training.

I could not agree more. We need accessibility to quality transition instruction
for the appropriate sport plane aircraft. The Sport Plane Industry needs to
step up to the plate, if this industry and us pilots are going to survive
.

Rule change? There are no rules that disallow training. Nor does anyone I know
of discourage training. I don't get your point. Am I being dense?

The changes that came with the light sport regs. eliminated many of the fat ultralight
/ 2 place training exemption aircraft and instructors. These were in many
cases very capable instructors that no longer meet FAA regs. Most local GA
operations are not interested in ultralight training. Training in C 150 will
not prepare one for ultralight type aircraft. IT would be expensive and time
consuming for the former ultralight instructors to comply with the new regs.

Have your friend either contact the manufacturer or a distributor of the
brand oil he uses. You should be able to find that information on the
internet.

Been using Phillips Injex in various Rotax engines since 1982, no problems yet.
Seems to burn cleaner than Pennzoil, and the rings are usually free and minimal
carbon on the ports. Check your yellow pages for oil distributors, ask them
if they can get whatever it is you want. It is usually cheaper by the case anyway.
