    That is a good explanation, I'm sure I will get used to it.

    comparing the tornado to my parajet zenith with bailey v5. it feels like the bailey has finer throttle control than the tornado (easier to footdrag with the bailey) another thing to get used to is if you let off on the throttle, the powerloss is instant, you swing backward when you suddenly drop the throttle. 40% - 50% power on the tornado feels like 100% power on the bailey.

    I had my first flights yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s9lLGJ-6Pg

    You were right, sand got into some of the connectors and caused corrosion. I cleaned it out and no more juddering.

    I ordered 3 weeks ago and they had one ready to go in 1 weeks time! It is somewhere between France and New Zealand at the moment, hopefully I'll have it next week.

    thanks for your help

    Have you done this before? How did you get the studs out? they are smooth.It also look like the thread is bigger than the usual M5 thread.

    where can I buy them?

    I ordered a eprop for my Zenith with Bailey v5 but it does not fit. The studs and bolt is too short, the eprop has a thicker base, maybe 0.5 to 1cm thicker than the standard parajet 130cm prop. Anyone else here using a eprop on a bailey v5, did it fit, or did you fit longer studs and bolt? They said I can return the prop and they will send one with the correct base, but I'm in NZ so it will take weeks before I can get a new one.

    I ordered mine with the clutch for these reasons.

    thank you, I can get them locally

    Can anyone tell me the make/size of the oil filter used in the Bailey v5? In the manual it says "Pleated paper (order from Bailey Aviation)"

    I ordered the Tornado, the price difference between the Nitro and Tornado is so small that it does not make sense to go for the Nitro. The only possible negative aspect is the fuel consumption but I'm keeping my Zenith with Bailey v5 for cross country flights.

    the main problem is the upright bars that connects to the swing arms of the zenith, they are to short, so there is nothing that holds the seat up so that you can sit in it.

    I can confirm that the Zenith is not compatible with the Airone trike.

    Parajet Zenith brakes down into a small size and you can remove the fuel tank easily. I got it for this reason, but it is a pain to put it all together every time you want to fly.

    Is it still worth getting a Nitro 200 instead of the Tornado? I can get a demo Nitro 200 now for 20% discount. Or do I order a Tornado and wait 8 weeks? (I weigh 82kg \ 180 lb and have intermediate skill)

    what is the fuel consumption? someone said 7.5l/hour ?, hopefully this is false.

    My Bailey v5 started "juddering". I was convinced it was the belt slipping, but I tightened it event more than recommended and it is still juddering. It happens randomly at different revs. It will "judder" between 1 and 5 times and then run fine for a while, then judder again. It does not feel like it affect thrust and the motor runs smoothly otherwise. Have anyone experienced this?

    No, there is no free play. I think you are right about the cable ? Will check it tomorrow.

    Hi My V5 idle high (maybe at 1/4 power) I checked, the idle screw, it is open, does not touch the "plate". Valve clearances all fine It is not the carb, I replaced the carb with a new one from Bailey, (it also idled high with the old carb) I replaced the oil. What else is there to check?

    Hi Yank I had the exact same problem with my v5 Zenith when I first got it. It did get easier to start after it had about 10 hours on the clock. Jaco

    Hi Does anyone know if the Zenith frame fits on a Airone trike? The Airone web site is down so I cannot ask them directly. Jaco

    I'm talking about the yellow fuel pipes that go from the tank to the engine on a Bailey v5

    Hi, can anyone tell me the inside\outside diameter of the Tygon fuel lines? I think it is one of these: 3/32" (2.4mm) x 3/16" (4.8mm) or 1/8" (3.2mm) x 3/16" (4.8mm)
