Ha! Finally got my 618 going with prop on it this weekend. I had some questions as to how it would start with a pull start and the .46 Mikuni carb and...
Please do your due diligence and consider other engine re-builders before sending your Rotax engine to Plane Engine Performance (PEP). Below is my experience...
Hi I am from South Africa currently flying a CGS Hawk Arrow II. I am looking at replacing my Hawk with a S9 or S10. I am very familiar with the Jabiro 3300 and...
... I am one of the people who contacted you by phone after reading your original distress postings. By posting this warning perhaps we will not hear of...
Thanks for your support Dave. If we save just one other pilot from any misfortune it will all be worthwile. I'd like to ask everyone to help spread the...
Hi Len,  Philip Witham has been flying behind a Jabiru 2200 with good success for a few years now. He is located close to Portland Oregon. I'm not sure...
I am at a cross-roads for completing the S-10 wing... For those of you flying S-9/10's, do you have standard rib stitching or the rans spiral method on your...
i just did a pair, standard... see attached pic -rex ( opinion: the reason for the spiral, its easy, the reason for standard, it actually does something ) ... ...
Rex, I think your opinion is probably correct. I bought this s-10 as a project, and the wing is covered using the spiral method. I have decided today to...
Gregg, The full stitching transfers loads from one wing surface to the other. In my build manual it says that you must through stitch if you are going to...
My opinion is based on a simple analogy relating to the fabric, ribs, and wing structure acting as a whole when lifting forces are in play. The negative...
Dick, By 'through' stitching, you are refering to the more standard way of rib stitching, correct? Thank you for the input... I definately want a strong wing...
Rex - nice analogy... picture painted well. After looking at the spiral rib stitching that is done on my wings, the lacing looks like it would loosen up quite...
When you get the rhythm of stitching spooled up, you will enjoy it and be finished before you know it. It can interfere with your beer drinking though....
Len if you go ahead with the Jab install, somewhere i have a series of photos of a fully inverted aerobatic conversion done on a 2200A by a friend of mine if...
Rex, Thanks for the info, pics and encouragement. I might ask you more questions as I get into the process. I also received an e-mail from an S-10er that...

Hi group: I am new to this group and I am also going to look at a S-10 that is about 20yrs old. Can anyone tell me what to look for in the inspection that...
Hi Get to know the engine and it's history, hours run, what maintenance record is there. Is it a Rotax 532 with points and single ignition or a later 582 with...
Dear all, I can't find the fuselage serial number on my S9. I've been told that it is often near the port u/c mount or the wing root, but I can't see it...
Steve, be also aware that if you take the wings off and trailer it home it is possible to connect the ailerons up the wrong way when you put the wings back on....
Hi On newer kits the s/n is stamped into the triangular gusset located at the forward wing spar aft edge to longeron joint on the starboard side. It is hard to...
Hi all, This is my first post. I am considering the purchase of an S-10 early in the new year. I have had just a little stick time (years ago) and I have done...
