RE: How to make this type of CF pushrod?

I figured, why cut the original piano wire in 2 pieces? My goal for using CF rods is not to reduce weight, it's to make the push rods stiffer.

What I will try is to mill or grind the side of the CF rod, then epoxy the piano wire to the side and then put heatshrink tube...

RE: How to make this type of CF pushrod?

Js3, Thanks for the information on how to make my own CF pushrods, which was the question!

I guess I will try to drill a hole in the rod and epoxy the piano wire in.

RE: Plans for Pilot Christen Eagle

It is not manufactured anymore. You need to find a second hand kit or find the plans and build from scratch.

During break-in I run the engine rich, according to Saito manual around 5 revs, in my case I have 4,5 revs on the needle.

RE: Yak-54 140

I have a 17x8 on my Saito 180 do you guys think it is to big?
Don't know what rpm's I get out since I don't have a rpm-meter.

Also I have a 16x8 prop, may be I should use that instead?

RE: Yak-54 140

Just weighed my Yak.
It weights 6.2 kg which according to excellent unit converters on the net gives almost 13.7 lbs.
