Posted 23 Nov 2016 (edited) I was on the phone first thing this morning and they are no longer available. I was told they had one coming in next week so I put it on back order. Guess we will see if that happens. Wish me luck.Give tony up at Twisted Metal Racing a call. I got one from him with a clutch last month. I got a great deal with the can exchange rate. Sounded like he had a few more. Edited 23 Nov 2016 by MN Kitfox 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Dec 2016 Got a few more pieces on the avid project including the 37 Chevy Just wondering whats the best egt setup,not sure if one gauge with 4 egt readings (if it exists) or go with 2 gauges. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Dec 2016 (edited) You can use a single gauge and then use a 4 position switch to switch from the one probe to the next. You can even wire the switch to control the EGTs and the CHTs going to different gauges or opposite sides on a dual gauge with the one 4 position switch. It's actually got 8 connections on the back, but only 4 are wired when you get it. That's how I had my Avid MK IV with a Jabiru wired up.

Posted 14 Dec 2016 (edited) Nice truck - I have photos near a 35 Chevy truck my grandfather owned. Of course, it was black. EDMO Edited 14 Dec 2016 by EDMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Dec 2016 Thanks Jim , I'll check into that setup, Ed, thats my brothers project he rescued from a hard life on the farm, was pretty beat up but hes getting it look like new again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Dec 2016 (edited) I rode in that 35 truck from 41 to 45, then my Uncle came home from the war and one day he was driving it and a tie-rod came loose and he crashed it head-on into a tree. I never saw it after that. EDMO Edited 14 Dec 2016 by EDMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Dec 2016 Looking good Willis! Just make sure you do a Weight & Balance on that setup before you fly.Thinking she might be a little tail heavy with the Chevy mounted in that location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2016 Thanks ,Ill move the chevy forward a bit more,does anyone happen to know the oil capacity for the c drive, the way it is mounted side ways on the RX1 I cant use the overflow bung. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2016 I found it ,it's 6.7 oz if anyone else is interested 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Dec 2016 Which direction? I think it's different depending on if it's upright or upside down but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 28 Dec 2016 (edited) Thanks Joey ,I should of mention that in my case the shaft is at the top so it takes the 6.7 oz its takes quite a bit less if its on the bottom, I dont have the rotax book handy to know the exact amount.

Posted 8 Jan 2017 (edited) We got the Rx1 running and its sounding pretty nice, the one problem I got is the handle bar warmer circut has no off switch its either on low or high, thought it would be cool having a heated grip on the stick till summer came lol,guess we will just install a resistor. I got a small video but guess its to larger to upload here and cant figure out you tube yet but ill keep trying. By the way does anyone know the drying time in between coats of poly spray,hard to find any info on it, the wing extensions are done and ready for spraying Edited 8 Jan 2017 by marshawk 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 8 Jan 2017 Subject to temperature the manual says 15 minutes between the Poly-Brush and Morning to Afternoon for the silver Poly-Spray. Best I could find... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Jan 2017 With that prop, it sure has a muscular look to it. With the light weight and high horsepower, it should climb like a rocket! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Jan 2017 Now that's a prop! If the engine can turn it up to a good RPM, there has to be phenomenal performance. JImChuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
