Hi, please watch out with that type of plate mount USB adapter. I have had lots of problems with radio interferrence with that type!

Question: could we not dimple those side rivet holes for a perfect side finish instead of leather over dimples?

[@EdwardHefter]

At about 5:50 in the video, you said that the Rotax 915iS is set up so that if the throttle cable breaks, it goes to full throttle. That's a good fail safe while flying. When trying to land, though, how do you cut the power, since there is no fuel mixture lever? Do you just get to glide distance and turn off the engine, or is there some other way to modulate the engine speed?

Edward - I was flying in a 912 Rotax and had a similar issue where I couldn't get the throttle to retard all the way - that's exactly what I did. Got up to gliding distance, turned off the lanes and landed.

@@ibgarrett Got it - to turn off the engines, you turn off the lanes. I am so old school! I am still using a mixture cutoff lever! 😁

[@ibgarrett]

@@EdwardHefter oh I know. I don’t quite get it either.
