Blue, any update on your 600KG Nynja?

Its close; received message that will be approved to fly early next week.  We've had short weeks and school holidays over here so expected possible delay. Didn't matter much two weeks ago as weather was horrible, great now.  I'll post when I have paperwork back.  Thanks for asking, Cheers.

 I received a text from RAAus Tech that all my Nynja’s paperwork regarding w&b has been approved and will receive email approval to 600 kg tomorrow. Yeeha!

Got the Nynja back in the air today after the 600kg upgrade. The cloud base was down to about 1400 feet in places so needed to stay low.  Fly again tomorrow. Also getting there with upgrade to ‘Spirit of Kittyhawk’ for Ben, just waiting on a few parts from Flylight in UK.

Just completed an enjoyable trip from Palmyra at Mackay to Longreach, then Charleville, then Roma and then home to Palmyra.  Total flight time was 11.3 hours (engine hobbs) over 6 days.  OAT was down to 6 at times so ordering a cabin heat unit from UK today so better prepared next trip.  Had gloves but thin socks and light sport shoes so a bit cold, however not unbearable. My wife Sandy enjoyed the trip.  Also the armrest I have been using over the last year is very comfortable and worked great and is better with the chain to adjust the height / angle (Firm feel, no springiness the cord made) it is turned up and away for takeoff and landing.

Fabricated a new style vent to trial in my wing tanks. Have completed one as a trial / proof of concept (it’s a spare that a mate gave me). Drilled a 3.5mm bore in the bolt on a mates lathe today so now ready to fit to one tank and give it a tryout.

Noice! Make sure you carry a plastic cap for the vent tube to stop the mud-dauber wasps. I think CASA say it only takes 20 mins after landing for a mud-dauber wasp to block an opening.

These are my covers that prevent the mud wasps.  (There is a mud wasp build on the end of the pitot cover.)

I think Mike they need to be more forward in the airstream. Like they are they will act like a vacumm sucker and possibly draw fuel out there will be no positive pressure going into the tank.
