  1. Sorry Bill, I sold mine on here just recently. Regards Kev
  2. Two new large windshields for Micro System and Relai System headsets. From the Lynx website: Our large windshield is made from specially designed acoustic foam and is designed to block out as much wind noise as possible in an open cockpit environment. No tools are required to fit this wind shield. Paid $72 incl postage recently but will sell for $50 incl postage within Australia. Listed elsewhere
  3. I have a Cable Luber for $10. These are so useful for lawn mowers, bicycles, motor bikes as well as your Aircraft cables. Check out the useful video on how to use it: The Ultimate Tool to Properly Lubricate Your Lawnmower Cables (youtube.com) Buyer collect, or I can post anywhere in Australia for postage & packing costs.
  4. I have 6 x 45 deg Flat Band Pliers available (for installation or removal of self compensating clamps) - @ $15 each. Buyer collect, or I can post anywhere in Australia for postage & packing costs. Listed elsewhere
  5. King Tool 3/8” drive digital torque adapter. Can be used for calibrating torque wrenches. 19.9-99.6 ftlb/27-135Nm Comes with storage case, battery and instructions. Listed elsewhere. Buyer collect from SE Qld, or I can post for Australia Post rates within Australia
  6. 16 x Self compensating clamps (Rotax Part # 851645) Brand New. Tool to remove or adjust these clamps, sold separately. Buyer collect, or can post for Australia Post rates within Australia. Listed Elsewhere.
  7. Hi Marty. The end caps on the pliers can be swapped over, if that helps (just held on with small circlips) also it may help to turn the spring clamp round the other way, although I assume you have tried that.
  8. Hi, I used to charge the headsets periodically with the Lynx charger. When I changed helmets, I removed the headband (and batteries) and just connected the ear cups to the click clack system on the Icaro helmet. This just means I can’t talk to the passenger until the radio has been switched on, but with the click clack system this hasn’t been a problem at all. I still have the Lynx battery charger if you’re interested. Kev
  9. Since October 2018 attendees have also had to complete the online course whereas previously RAAus attendees obtained their L1 by forwarding the certificate. If you are in Rockhampton, Steve Bartlett is looking to host a course there and has all the details. Otherwise email me [email protected] and Carole will send details or add you to our waiting list
  10. Unfortunately none that I am aware of (apart from the one mentioned above). Kev
  11. Carole and I have been running our Sport Aviation & Rotax Maintenance course (previously known as the WM/Rotax maintenance course) at various venues in Australia since 2012. This is a two day course with classroom and practical elements which include: wirelocking, filter inspection, conrod bearing testing, carb sync for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke and differential pressure testing. It is the HGFA Airframe and Engine course mentioned in the RAAus Technical Manual. To date, we have completed 44 courses in NSW, VIC, WA, SA and Qld, but are currently ‘on hold’ due to Covid-19 restrictions. Kev
  12. Excellent write up Kasper. I would and will vote for you on this alone. Good luck.
  13. The AirVenture at Oshkosh, WI, USA is having it’s 50th Anniversary this year. We have booked a house which is a 13 minute walk away from the Hilton Garden Inn’s entrance to the venue, where you catch the free ‘internal’ buses. We only need one room, so have two queen bedrooms and a room with two single (bunk beds) available for between 20th – 30th July. AirVenture runs from between Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th July. The cost will be per room and in Australia dollars. Shared kitchen and bathroom but otherwise a private house, near restaurants and shopping. Do your own thing, just need to book your airfares and let us know when you are arriving at the accommodation. The owners can supply up to 3 keys for the property. AirBnB rules apply, i.e. no parties or loud noises to upset neighbours etc. The house has already been paid for, so no refunds. First come, first in. PM me for further details if interested. We have been several times to AirVenture so can help with directions etc. Kev
