Colin,
What type of wheel breaks do you have?

Hi all,
A couple of things. First, I'm too busy, articles, video editing, things are
getting neglected, like my parents and friends. Lots to do before I return to
America in January. My own fault so I try not to complain.
I read a lot of the comments on Krnet.
There seem to be a few repeating is

Just one correction - CASA has proposed the restrictions, they haven't
introduced them yet and hopefully they never will. Just the proposal alone
has been damaging enough, and the way CASA has gone about addressing this
problem (if indeed there is a problem - which they've acknowledged they
don't
You mentioned that you don't have a speed break or flaps. What is your
landing distance on concrete and grass?

Thank you Jeff and Mark. I've never heard of case fretting until now and
thanks to you two anyone reading this knows what it is, what causes it,
how to prevent it and what to do about it (line bore & bottom end
re-build) if allowed to progress. Re-torqueing my head bolts is now on
my "to do" lis
I operate mine manually, I thought I might need to retract it fast in the event
of a botched landing. I was going to go with a lineal actuator but I assumed I
could bring it up quicker.

I started with a belly board that had no holes in it and then I made one with
holes. The brake w/holes works better. I believe that is because with out holes
the board creates some lift.Kenny N6399U

Mine came with holes so I did some research in deciding whether to cover
the holes or not and think I remember that the Navy dive bombers had
holes in their dive brakes or dive flaps not to increase drag but rather
to reduce the effect of the disrupted slipstream over the tail control
surfaces. Ha

It is a mystery. Mine had no holes and performed very well. No holes is

There is a political aspect to this also.
CASA has limited the Jabiru engine because it is a certified engine, that
is, it is subject to the same rules as your everyday Lycoming or
Continental.
However, where the engine is in an aircraft registered under our

The Jabiru engines mandate a pretty regular re-torquing of case bolts and head
bolts. My take on this, which could be entirely wrong, is that builders that
want to treat their Jabiru like a Lycoming or Continental (meaning with little
maintenance other than oil changes) are the ones that are se
Excuse me . . . I meant to include Tony King's info along with that of
