Had a similiar problem ,but it was one pickup on a dual ignition,cleaned up the earth,end of problem.I was getting different resistance readings too

Hi,maybe your tacho isn't accurate,but I run a warpdrive on 503/e-box --- static max 6300 rpm,cruise 4800-5000 rpm,maybe you could do with another degree or two more blade pitch

Cheers Guys,many thanks again Morph,will check your list this weekend ( have you ever considered shifting here )

My 503 dcdi,has a very inconsistant idle,idles at 2200 rpm( approx) when cold, after a circuit or two it has dropped to 1800 rpm. Any ideas why. I'm flying from sea level,burning 96 octane and castrol 2t oil .About 600 hours on the engine

Thanks Morph,you're a mine of knowledge .So here's another curly one for you. How many amps are required to run the ignition system,?

How many amps can you expect a 503 lighting coil to produce at 5000 rpm ?

Hi Mike
Dont think that the guy that builds them has a website ,but this is his fax no. 006478297587
Cheers Mark

But fiddlins half the fun

12 deg at the prop tips has given me a static of 6330 rpm.I'm happy. Thanks again guys

Thanks Guys,That will get me started. Morph-- will check jetting next time carbs are off, the previous owner was flying from sea level (same as here ) and it runs very smoothly,so I'm assuming that it is jetted correctly. One more question,I've read two variations of where to measure the pitch degre...

I have just recieved a new 3 blade 70 inch Warpdrive prop.I want to fit it to my 503 Windlass ,1-3.47 e-box.What I'd like is a starting point to set the pitch too. Thanks

Cheers for that skybound,tried to get a batton profile from our local agent,but he has never used one so maybe I get one sent over from SA.Will send solowings an email and see what they have.

First time assenbling the wing, the ribs got a bit of TLC from customs,so I paired them up (black tape to the right ) and shaped them to the more curved of the pair.Fitted all the curved battons ( bungeyed in) fitted the 4 straight battons in the 2nd an 4th velcroed pockets,but where do the half bat...

Morph I think its very similar here,its just the first permit to fly that is a bit dramatic,and being new to all this makes it worse.I've gotten it registered ZK_KIG ,the club IA has to do an anual inspection,placards have to be attached to damn near everthing,3 seperate logbooks have to be raised,e...

Sorry guys,forgot to keep up with this one,been to busy asking questions in the tech section vhpy .Have now got the old girl reassembled,and am currently wading my way through the mire of CAA requirements to get it off the ground. Will replace the Hang bolts and a few other wing bolts this weekend,j...
