Re: Garmin Updates - Software and Jeppesen Charts

Also your links don't work? I don't know why Micolighters hijacks the links to have a 'www.microlighters.co.za' before the actual link, but I have changed how they are displaying, so just copy them out into a new tab. This is what I get when I click the link, which makes absolutely no sense: www. m...

Re: Aquilla 582 price

KP, it would be easier to put a price to it with some photos.

Do you have any you could post?

Also, is the 582 a silver top or blue top? (photos should show this)

Exhaust Maintenance for Rotax 582

I certainly had never seen what the inside of the Rotax 582 exhaust looks like, so thought I would share this, along with quite a good article on exhaust maintenance.

Re: 582 / 503 Exhaust Muffler x 2 for sale

Does this fit below/beyond the normal exhaust system?

What effect does it have on noise reduction, and is there any impact on power output?
