Rotax 912 supplies
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:16 pm
Hi Everybody !
I've collected all the numbers for various bits for the 912-powered
Rebel that I've used over the years. Might be handy to have in one place,
considering it might be sold soon.....
(It's advertised in Sept. COPA for only $47,000, and I've already had
<2> (lowball) offers !)
I hope some of these might be useful for those of you already
building or flying Rebels with the Rotax 912 (or 912-S). <I> think
that this is a GREAT recipe for a FUN flying machine that is CHEAP to
run ! Cruise at 97 mph, stall at 30, carry hundreds of pounds of camping
gear, and burn only 3 gallons/hour of auto fuel !!! Hard to beat !
And, it performs very well on Murphy 1500 straight floats, too !
(See the front of the Murphy brochure ! ;-) )
All of these are for the Rotax 912.
Here are the numbers for oil filters I've used:
-----------------------------------------------
Canadian Tire 17-1748-8
Fram PH3614
NAPA 1348
Purolator FC603
K-Mart K0241
Oil is :
---------
Canadian Tire 2000 Synthetic 15-50
Mobil 1 Synthetic 20-50
Castrol GTX 20-50
Castrol GTX 40 (for hot summer conditions)
The spark plugs I now use are:
------------------------------
NGK DCPR7E - from an auto parts jobber, in boxes of 10 (~$2.50 ea.)
The battery is:
---------------
Canadian Tire CTC-27-1014-0 (12-N14-3A)
(Motorcycle/lawn tractor)
Exhaust stack extentions: (for stock Murphy mufflers)
--------------------------
Canadian Tire CTC 12-8590B/07770 (1 1/2" ID)
Ignition key switch:
--------------------
Echlin KS 6180 (from automotive jobber)
Prop is:
--------
GSC ground adjustable 2 blade - 72", model M670 (pitch is about 40")
(GSC also has a NICE variable-pitch prop for about $1,500 !)
--------------
Brake fluid is:
---------------
Canadian Tire Automotive automatic transmission fluid (Dextron II)
----------------------------
Hope some of this is useful - please pass it on.
