There is a political aspect to this also.
CASA has limited the Jabiru engine because it is a certified engine, that
is, it is subject to the same rules as your everyday Lycoming or
Continental.
However, where the engine is in an aircraft registered under our
Experimental or Recreational
Just one correction - CASA has proposed the restrictions, they haven't
introduced them yet and hopefully they never will. Just the proposal alone
has been damaging enough, and the way CASA has gone about addressing this
problem (if indeed there is a problem - which they've acknowledged they
don't
This is not KR related and it's not Friday but it's offered for your

The UK National Air Traffic Service (NATS) has just released a video (data
visualisation) of the air traffic over the UK from one day earlier this
summer. It starts by showing what comes to us from the USA each
I did mis-spoke with my earlier post. As John Martindale points out, the
CASA Jabiru restrictions are just a proposal at this point and also in
contention (as John also mentions) is whether CASA even has the authority
to restrict aircraft licensed in Australia's equivalent of the
Experimental
Excuse me . . . I meant to include Tony King's info along with that of
John Martindale's. They both clarified that what I stated was an
existing restriction by CASA is at this point only a proposal.
Apparently in Australia grown men are forced to wear helmets when riding
a bicycle so this
...Can anyone of the experienced "bellybrakers"explane ,what kind of
bellybrake are the most efficent brake is.
.Is it useful to make holes in the brakeshield or not ?
what is the most efficent deploying angle of the board ?
My bellyboard is mounted just under the rearspar and
It is a mystery. Mine had no holes and performed very well. No holes is
easier to implement, so, for me it seemed to be the most logical choice. I
use an electric servo that I got from Steve Glover. It has an automatic
stop at both ends of the throw. I started out with a momentary switch so I
I started with a belly board that had no holes in it and then I made one with
holes. The brake w/holes works better. I believe that is because with out holes

You mentioned that you don't have a speed break or flaps. What is your

Thank you Jeff and Mark. I've never heard of case fretting until now and
thanks to you two anyone reading this knows what it is, what causes it,
how to prevent it and what to do about it (line bore & bottom end
re-build) if allowed to progress. Re-torqueing my head bolts is now on
my "to do"
