In setting up my Gen 4 Jabiru 3300 on my CH750 STOL and doing the test flights in 2021 I was frustrated with the poor charting available from my MGL EMS data files. I am fairly handy with Excel, but…Continue

I have had 3 EGT probes fail. These were the MGL probes, but they are the dirt simple hose clamp and a probe setup that can be found from various engine monitoring suppliers. Is this common? I did…Continue

There have been several posts about how to get RPM readings from the Jabiru. On my Gen 4 engine with MGL avionics I have had good luck with a standard 10 MM proximity switch (sensor). The key is…Continue

I recently flew down to Robinson (8I1) an unpaved public uses airstrip along the Ohio River in southern Indiana. Nothing special, but another addition to the places I have landed with my CH750 STOL. There is a short YouTube video Pirep at Robinson (8I1) video Pirep …

Inspection was completed on September 23rd and first flight on the 24th. Currently trying to get as much flight time in the remaining fall flight weather. Many thanks to all on this forum who have posted their experiences, lessons learned, and especially photos. Without these resources I would only be half done by now. I hope to share more of my experiences when the weather gets worse. I am hoping I can help others they way this community has helped my build.

It is critical that I work on my airplane every day in order to make progress. I find that if I have more than 24 hours between sessions it is way too hard to remember where I left the tools ! :-)
Thank you Mr. Burns. The information that you sent me was very helpful, I appreciate the help for the I.P.L. list.
Best regards,

Arion Aircraft was right next door to Jabiru USA, so I've met them including Nick Otterback, the owner. It seems to have been a fairly seamless transition from Jab USA (later Jabiru North America) to Arion. I've spoken to a few people who have done business with them since the transition and it has all been positive!
Thanks, John.
I have the Aeroelectric CD. I can see the requirements, but would feel more comfortable if someone with more knowledge than I have gives exact details.
John:
I noticed your comment on John Austin's flap actuator switch.
I don't know whether you are knowledgeable enough about a problem I have, but here goes:
I am installing Ray Allen 301 sticks on my Cruzer. There are two issues: the use of two sticks to control a relay, AND in my instance, wanting to use the stick as the switch for the flaps. I can use the relays that come with the sticks for the trim motor as it is of low amperage and grounds through the relay. But, I cannot figure out how to have the stick relay trigger a relay to operate the flaps.
Is this within your knowledge base?
