Handy formula Peter.

Thanks for your thoughts. I also plan on 25 litres/hr but consumption is around 21-22 l/ph.

Thank you, Nev, for your appreciated input.

Thank you, Andy, the input from you & Frank is much appreciated .

Thank you, Frank , a fuel log & comparison with fuel gauges appears to be the best solution ( this is what I have been doing to date). I think that I was going for an "over kill"!

Thanks Rory for such a logical response. I will adopt your recommendation. Cheers John N,

Thank you for your reply. I have asked Jabiru in the past but with the advent of increased ramp checks will try them again. Cheers John N

Does anyone know where I can buy a dipstick measure for Jabiru 230D fuel tanks or if such an item exists? Any assistance will be much appreciated!

Jabiru have Booster Seats avaialble which are foam with covering to match the upholstery of your seats. They are comfortable (3 to 4 hour trips quite ok) and are great for those who are not so tall. Made to your colour requirements, delivery is about 2 weeks.

Thanks Frank for your welcome. John

Hi, My name is John Nicoll and I have come back to flying after 28 years. After a Real Estate career of some 40 years and subsequent retirement I thought that I would learn to fly again (I previously held a PPL) and became interested in Recreational Flying and Jabirus.I now have 225 hours up and purchased a new Jabiru 230D last September and our new hangar is only days from completion.My wife, Judie, and I are planning a trip from our home base of Bathurst to Longreach in late May. We just loved Natfly 2009 and thought that the sessions were great. We are looking forward to meeting many of you through our involvement with RAA. Happy Flying!
