All Activity

What about Macca on Sunday mornings, plus you can phone in and tell all about your flight 🙃😎🤠🤪

I tested mine in the garage with the roller door open, started the ride on, 100ppm after one minute. Started giving a reading as soon as i could smell exhaust.

There's recommended techniques for the most SAFE ways to maintain control and not stress the Plane in rough Air.. The way weather is changing in flight turbulence will become a bigger concern to Aviators. . Watch out for dust devils without the dust. . Nev

When a nefarious nation chooses to jam our GPS satellites, we’ll all be rooned ! Ill be sharpening my pencil and winding up my wristwatch in anticipation and I’ve been told you can navigate by occasionally looking out the window. ……and I’ll get a crystal set radio to listen to the cricket. 😎

Have sent you a PM

Okay - your best price ? (for the lot)

New photos uploaded

Yes, it does. The filter cutter has only been used a couple of times, so has been kept in the box since then. I will update the photos to show what it comes with.

Is there a way to tell the type of sensor, given that it has a 3 minute warm up i suspect an older type.

Hi Kev - does the filter case cutter have its full compliments of centre studs (for different filters)?

Hi, I have the total cost as $160 but the advert should say including (normal) postage within Australia. I will amend that now. Willing to sell individually though so have added the costs to the advert as well. Thanks for pointing that out. Regards Kev

Did I miss your asking price: Complete? Item by item?

but "you guys" don't listen to the cricket

Hi Nev, thanks for the comments . I got tossed in the jabiru 90deg to the ground once, that wasnt fun. Some people would say what do you put yourself through it ? Well, I beleive all good pilots are compelled to confront their demons. It's no fun though. And Young with its rising ground around the AD and hills is full of demons. If my adrelaline hadnt been so high, I would have had another go from the other direction, different hills affect the other end. But I'd need ot be on my game when climbing out through the demons at the other end.

Sounds and looks brilliant. Well done Baz!

Irrelevant nav aid from the last century, Boeing & Airbus no longer have the ADF installed in their a/c, GPS/RNAV/RNP is the way everyone is going including GA for obvious reasons of cost, no flight testing of NAVAID required which causes traffic delays etc.

It's adrenalin. Normal stress reaction. It wakes you up. Learn the causes of turbulence and be alert for it.. It CAN toss you upside down and do all manner of things.. Nev

Went flying yesterday, while only 10 kts on the ground from the east , much more once in the air , needed 10 degrees to hold off the drift ..... Got to destination , a known bumpy AD to shoot a few Xwinds ,AWIS said 11 kts and pure Xwind... this AD is in a shallow valley..... and I was so shaken up on final on both passes due to very uncomfortable turbulence I found had no appetite for putting the plane down once over the threshold. Did two. So I went back home. and listened to another airplane go into the same AD and go-around twice and then choose the opposite direction..... I guess they got down. landing in same Xwind component but at Cowra approaches are smooth if when windy and landing in same Xwind like it was a non event....perfect nice 10 deg flap flare and landing. was demonstration grade ! This was a specific flavour of turbulence I have encountered rarely There really are different flavours of turbulence, aren't there.... Some more uncomfortable than others. Clearly, more work required more often. and I was quite surprised to be so shaken up in the circuit that it severely affected my appetite for landing. It's not scary. the airplane is not going to break and the airplane is not goign to get tossed upsidedown. It's just very uncomfortable, creating adrelaline, anxietry etc etc ***Does a human body get better with this when it's of a certain flavour ??????? . anxiety levels were still running after back landing at CWR.

Thank you for all the comments - and I think that has cemented it for me. I can make much better use of the panel space. Anyone want a cheap wireless to listen to the cricket?

so, you'll need to solder up a few wires. battery will probably need to stay. older ones are heater/catalyst type, they have lifespan the way these systems get LONG lifespan is they usually only sample a few times per hour. I have a CO2 monitor that has a lifespan of 500 hours and provides twice a minute updates. Newer sensors are either micro versions of same with long life sensors, or photometry type that measure absorption spectra. I wonder which type this is.

I used Microsoft flight simulator to practice using the ADF. Then one day I flew Parafield to Broken Hill using the NDBs. What a hoot!

I know I will get shot down but, I wished VOR was still available to the extent it once was…….

They are heavy and no practical use these days if you have GPS instruments.

Agree... my aircraft first went into the sky in 1998... when i purchased it it was up for the 5 year change next annual; so i did it; and i did all the other hoses on the airframe too! One braided hose was so poor that after removing it and bending it it cracked open. It was not a major hose. It only carried fluid from the fuel tank to the fuel pump on the engine; nothing major, but i changed it...

Update.
