What does the Red Radial Mark indicate on the MLI when displaying PWR?
Shows the 160hp mark
Limit may be exceeded
What does the Red Arch indicate on the MLI when displaying FLO?
Corresponds to full throttle available.
This limit cannot be exceeded.
By doing so the NR will drop.
System Description
Engine
4 cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed.
Suspended through elastomeric vibration mounts.
Allowed to move slightly to maintain transmission belt tension.
System Description
Clutch
The clutch tension actuator is fed by engine oil pressure through a four-way distributor controlled by the CLUTCH switch.
It’s regulated by a non-return valve to keep clutch engaged in case of engine oil drop.
A gas spring maintains disengagement during prolonged stoppage.
The CLUTCH light lights off when pressure of the oil is above 3.6 bar.
System Description
Air Induction
Engine air intake is located inside the main gearbox compartment on the right hand side.
The air is ducted down the firewall to an air filter box behind the carburettor.
The air box includes an electrically actuated butterfly valve which controls the carburettor heating and air filter.
System Description
Ignition System
The engine has a dual plug mixed ignition system.
One magneto with constant timing.
One solid state plasma with variable timing.
System is directly fed by the battery.
System Description
Cooling System
The engine is air cooled with an additional air cooler.
Cooling air enters through the upper cowling around the mast and gearbox.
Then gets forced via a squirrel cage blower fan directly around the engine.
Warm air exhausted below the engine.
System Description
Fuel System
Single crash resistant Kevlar fuel tank.
Submerged electric fuel booster pump.
Engine driven pump.
Shutdown valve.
A gascolator.
System Description
Electrical Circuit
Powered by a 12 volt, 25 ampere-hour battery.
13.7 volt, 60 ampere-hour alternator controlled by a voltage regulator.
MASTER switch disconnects all systems except;
-NR (BARC) lights
-PLASMA ignition system
-Doors remote control
-Auxiliary power socket
