Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

Wiring chapter 2 Silicone wire insulations ability to handle very high temperatures up to 200-300 degC is its main feature. Its drawback is its very low tensile strength, in fact, it is so low that you can strip it with your nails. To ensure that it is at least reasonably strong, the silicon isolati...

Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

Well now that the weather is delaying oupa, I will write something about wiring. First about wire selection, simple enough most people will say, wire is wire. I will take a look at more commonly or sometimes not so commonly available wire types (or more correctly the isolation used for the wire). PV...

Re: 582 temperature

I had a similar problem on a trike with a 582, but only on hot days when the temperature was above about 32 degrees. I tried to flush the system, no change. I tried scoops and it does help a bit but only brings the temperature down by about 2 degrees (my guesstimate since it is difficult to evaluate...

Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

Ok I hear what you say but the scetch shows both systems reading TPS ;-) Redundant just doesn't read air temp. Then I'm trying to understand how the spark side is run - I assume you are running something like coilpacks fired by the management - not the usual 'magneto' system as per airplanes normal...
