I want to not have to be discretionary in my use of electricity and with the 914 having electric fuel pumps I reckon it might be smart to consider a 2nd alternator. I believe there is a blank up…Continue

Additional alternator for 914
I want to not have to be discretionary in my use of electricity and with the 914 having electric fuel pumps I reckon it might be smart to consider a 2nd alternator. I believe there is a blank up front on the crankcase for one.....I would like to hear from anyone who has first person experience with using one please? Thanks in anticipation.See More
Rotax 914 FWF engine mount assistance request
Hi,I've got a 20 year old 914 that is new in a box, has never been started except maybe in the factory, that is going on my 750 Cruzer in due course. I would like to know if the firewall is the same between the 750 and the 750 Cruzer, think its a silly question but I need it verified. I also am keen to know if there is any pitfalls or things I can manage now in the choices I make with Skytek of Canada for my FWF kit. It seems like there is a fair bit involved and I only have one shot at getting…See More

Tony, you had asked about how far from the fulcrum on the bell crank did I attach the servo arm on my Garmin GSA 28. It is 40mm from the fulcrum. There’s no particular reason for that distance it just worked out better for clearance and mounting the servo. The servo is capable of 60 inch lbs of torque which should be more than enough for the cruzer controls.

Hi, Tony. the -9 doubler came with my kit, delivered on June 12, 2023. Roger sent me the jpg view of the doubler installed on the rear spar. I've seen other builders' photos where the doubler extends all the way to the root, mine does not. Reference my photo where the inboard end of -9 starts at wing station 190 (station zero is the root rib.) Station 190 is that measurement in millimeters progressing out towards the wing tip. It ends at station 970. I figured out the placement before I heard from Roger by aligning the factory drilled rivet holes. I answer to Don. I'm called by other names, just don't call me late for dinner.
