hi all
our group aircraft a ev97 eurostar is due it's 600hr check
It is fitted with a non slipper clutch gearbox the rotax manual gives details how to check a slipper clutch type.The only referance i can find for the non cluch type is "it must be inspected in accordance with BRP powertrain instruction " does anybody know what this involves or where i can find the required info.
thanks
Derek

Bearing in mind Skydrive's involvement with Evektor and Rotax, my guess would be that they will be the best people to ask. I have always found them very helpful, and so is Conrad at Conair Sports.

Combined, what they don't know isn't worth knowing.

and www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com

I have forgotten which site I used.

thanks for the replies found out it needs inspecting so this means a strip down OUCH! but better safe than sorry.

I sent mine to Chris Theakstone (CT Aviation) who turned it around in a couple of days. The price was very reasonable from what I remember.

I made my own tool to remove the gearbox (follow the Rotax manual), posted it off to Chris and then fitted it back using the approved Loctite surface cleaner and gasket compound.

It was all a lot less bother than I thought it was going to be.
