Dear Kandi,

If you find it hard to discern the gurgling sound you have never properly heard it - but, as I already said, on some types it simply doesn't occur. You do have to remove the oil filler cap, though, and better remove the dipstick too. One problem is to find a convenient place for both, where they won't fall off at the merest movement, yet be sufficiently conspicuous that you don't forget to put them back in place before starting.

As for pushing the nose down, isn't your issue with using a stick for the first time, having only used yokes before? You'll soon get used to it. But really, if that must be discussed further, it would be better done in a separate thread - this one is about gurgling a Rotax 4-stroker.

PS and forget about Technam, these fine but slightly overweight craft are called Tecnam.
