Does anyone have any idea on how you install the Carb Air Temp Sensor on a Jabiru 3300? "Jabiru: I have recently hung 3300 # 1543 on my Zenair 701 and would like to install a Carb Air Temp sensor which goes to my Grand Rapids Sport Engine Information System. Pete of USJabiru did not know how to do it and Grand Rapids seem to be devoid of ideas on how to do so. An instruction that came with the probe indicated "Most carburetor housings will be pre-drilled and tapped, with a lead or brass screw filling the hole. If no hole exists, it will be necessary to drill and tap one". An accompanying illustration of a Mavel Schebler Type MA4 carb for a 6 cylinder engine indicates the tapped hole should be 1/4 X 28. Any information you can provide would be sincerely appreciated." Ideas and comments are solicited and would be very much appreciated.

Having such credendials prompts me to offer this: DO NOT drill any holes in your carb! If there is a rubber hose, gasket of sufficient thickness, or some other method of inserting the probe, just for testing at first, then by all means use that method before you drill a hole in the carb. Surely some knowledgeable fellow will offer a suitable answer to your question, but I'd back off from the drilling until the precise location of this hole is known. Typical carb just has too many secret passages cast/machined into it to be hasty. Besides, rubber hoses and gaskets are relatively cheap; carbs are not.

My Rotax 912ULS prefers 91 octane mogas and I have found several airports along my route that sell 91 mogas. If the winds are favorable there and back (fat chance!) I would be able to make it with two fuel stops, but I would like several alternatives. I can purchase 91 mogas near Chicago at Cushing Field (0C8) and near Minneapolis at Stanton Airfield (KSYN). I would like to add a fuel stop between Columbus (KOSU) and Cushing and one between Cushing and KSYN. Any of you Rotax flyers in those areas know of a field with 91 mogas?

And uses fuel from the right tank not the left, found out if you want them to run even then turn one off until the other catches up. (just like a Cherokee) All in all awesome aircraft!

Since I like to go X-country and since few airports have 91 Octane, I add TCP to keep the lead from gunking up the cylinders (see http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/alcortcp.php).
