on my delivery flight home from picking up a new SLSA:
if you run down the Skyview battery ( from looking at it or learning how to use it) when you come of put the master on and start the surge of power to the Skyview internal battery as the system starts of try charging it is the reason the 5amp EFIS fuse blows. Vans agrees
When the flappers safe "up" coypu can still push the button and raise them a wee bit more you. An feel a tiny bump, se that they,re fully flush with the wing and notice an increase in a couple of knots kinda like the FD CTLS negative 6 flap position??
When line guys fuel the RV12 some will stop when the Moeller gauge reaches "full". I fell them to slow down at this splint and they can get in almost 3 gals more on my plane which is crucial doing these long legs home from Vans. One line guy, despite my warning, pumped as hard as he could and got a fateful of Avgas
At around 5000 to 5100 rpm my Rotax has a kind of harmonic...similar to synching the engines on a twin. Is this anything to do with the carbs or is it just in my head after 20 plus hours flying on the way home?
after about 15 hours I burped the engine and had to add half a quart to get a reading well into the flat part of the dipstick. Is this about right? How much are you guys adding and how often?
i'rea.ly learned to fly the plane better and like it more no more each time I fly it...except for the throttle and rudder pedals!
