Hydraulic Pack




Why spend 1000's of $ when a 12Volts electric pack can do the job for less than $300 or if you want to spend more money for less than $1800 you can have a hydraulic pack to operate everywhere.
All of thoses you can find them on E-Bay
If you need some adaptors I will help you.
I am looking with Staubli for some connectors and price for duo plate mounting.

Micro-pump


In case of fuel draining from the micropump drain after having started the engine and keep draining , the good chance is that the micropump diaphragms are too old and need to be replaced.

Marbore II or VI


For your information because a lot of people does not know that on a Marbore II or VI the combustion chamber is good for 900 hours except if the overhauld was made by turbomeca who was giving a 1400 hours TBO time engine on a Marbore VI with a combustion chamber for 1400 hours , so when the overhaul was made by the French Air Force the engines was good for 1800 hours if the combustion chamber was changed after 900 hours SMOH
If the combustion chamber was changed after 600 hours SMOH due to cracks in the combustion chamber you would had an other 900 hours and your next overhaul would be 1500 hours but never exeeding 1800 hours.
This is why without the original engines logs you do not know how many hours have your engines burner can and so on . So many logs was fasified......
I saw one marbore II engine with 1180 hours SMOH for sale but the big problem is that you had only 20 hours left before replacing the combustion chamber....or O/H the engine.
Now you have only the Israeli Air Force who can perform that work with real and not fake combustion chamber replacement , engine overhaul and they are the only ones.
Engines or airframe without original logs : it can be costly to take a wild guess...
Sure as an experimental aircraft TBO time is recomended so why some people does not give the real time on the engines , airframe and the new owner can decide what to do! Do not tell lies.
