Final update on the issue. Needles raised to bottom notch, newly installed flow meter removed - now EGTs do not go above 600, 550 - 575 in the cruise! Fuel consumption in the region of 15 l/hr! Sweet! Thanks to all who contributed to helping solve the problem. Hi there at what revs are you getting ...

hey guys. I read the latest notams re the maintenance of my 582....do I understand it correctly when it says that all work must be carried out by an approved AMO?...it is very confusing. Furthermore, I have 270 hours on the motor, yet it is now 8 years old...does that mean that I have to do a comple...

hey guys...good to see that Klipriver is coming alive again. vhpy Just for the record, the 2 main runways have recently been cleaned up and a 10 ton roller used to flatten it....They are now awsome. ..smooth as a baby's ...well smooth..... vhpy I fly from there in my Bushbaby and love it. vhpy ........

I eventually found that the exhaust was the problem. Have you made any mods to it?..if not, then check that the elbow that is connected to the Y piece i...

I have always run my Rotax on uleaded, so should not be a problem..just switch over.

hear hear...I fully support Cloud Warrior's statements....I have only had professional service from Piet......Bushbaby with 582 and 72" De Nekker prop...a winner all the way....better climb, better cruise, sounds and looks magic.... ZU-BTV

hi guys..I believe Larry from Buzzcom systems also refurbishes them...maybe give him a try...082 410 1532
