  1. Finally, I have just received delivery of new stock of the Recreational Flying 250 headsets and Portable Intercoms with Push To Talk. I will be putting them into the Clear Prop Shop as soon as I can check that the quality the headsets are known for is still up to scratch so keep an eye out in Clear Prop for them to be marked as available at: These headsets are slightly better than David Clark H10.13 at a fraction of the price. They even have gold plated plugs, 2db better passive noise reduction than DCs and they are so comfortable that even Charter Pilots use them all day.
  2. WOW, 104 views and not one comment, is this site, this resource still working and helping aviators or has it had its day and it is time to move on to say Facebook? I wonder how many users are still flying?
  3. Hi All, I am looking at adding a new feature to the site that enables you to enter the trips you go on. I would need to adapt an addon that is made for the ecording a Hiking, Cycling, Skiing etc to one for Flying trips and I was wondering whether you think it would be a good addition to the site? Now, one thing is that this site has so many great features for you all to add things to and not just discussion forums yet most of you don't add content into them like Movies, Books, Articles, Calendar Events, Gallery, Videos, Blogs, Groups etc. These are all here for you to add anything that you may find on your internet travels and can share to all other site users...this is your site so is there any reason why you don't contribute in all areas? Here is the description of the Trip/Route Feature for you to work out if you think it would be a great feature and would be used: Empower your community members with the ability to submit (by uploading a GPX file), explore, and engage with routes like never before. The Routes application seamlessly integrates with your site platform, enhancing user experience and fostering a vibrant community around outdoor activities, travel, and exploration. Route Submission: Users can effortlessly submit routes directly through the application. They can provide detailed descriptions, upload GPX files, share captivating images and videos, and specify route-specific information such as distance, activity type, difficulty level, weather conditions, surface type, and elevation. This comprehensive data ensures that every route submission is rich in information, guiding fellow adventurers accurately. Interactive Map Display: Harnessing the power of OpenStreetMap, our application provides an intuitive and interactive map interface. Users can visualise routes seamlessly, plan their adventures with precision, and explore routes submitted by others within the community. Community Engagement: Foster community interaction and collaboration through route commenting and reviews. Users can share their experiences, offer tips and recommendations, and engage in discussions related to specific routes. This social aspect enriches the community experience, encouraging camaraderie and knowledge-sharing among members. Robust Filtering and Search: With a vast repository of routes at their disposal, users can easily discover routes tailored to their preferences. Our application offers robust filtering and search functionalities, enabling users to narrow down their options based on criteria such as activity type, difficulty level, location, and more. Whether they're seeking a leisurely hike or a challenging cycling route, finding the perfect adventure has never been easier. Responsive Design: Our application boasts a responsive design, ensuring seamless accessibility across devices of all sizes. Whether users are accessing the platform from their desktops, tablets, or smartphones, they can enjoy a consistent and optimised experience, enhancing usability and convenience. GPX files: Users have the convenience of downloading GPX files for any submitted route, enabling them to seamlessly transfer routes to their own devices, such as GPS devices, smartphones, or fitness trackers, for offline navigation and exploration. Ability to link to the same route on the Strava platform. This feature ensures flexibility and accessibility, empowering users to take their adventures beyond the digital realm and into the great outdoors easily. So what do you think??????
  4. I have purchased 5 tubes of Red but they will not arrive for a couple of weeks, price will be $19.95 a tube
  5. I can get you Green straight away but Red is going to take a couple of months due to the distributor only having Green left at the moment. The price would be about $19.95. I can keep hunting but there is only 1 distributor in Australia. There are alternatives like Loctite 7414 etc. I am waiting for a reply from an overseas dealer but that may also take a week or 2 to get them
  6. Interesting, I have always suggested to people to use RED nail polish, the wife won't miss it and she will think that she has lost it and go out and buy another bottle without complaining that you are spending too much on the plane. I will see what I can get and let you know
  7. Remember, for anything that you need you can use the Clear Prop Free Sourcing Service on the Clear Prop site...just click the image on the Clear Prop Home Page, complete the popup form and click submit. That tells me what to try and source for you at the best possible price, quality and service
  8. This is what I mean, you can get not only a new sender but also a completely new Gauge and wiring as well for less cost than what the supplier you have listed cost is for just the sender and Clear Prop have them in stock for overnight delivery. Also I also have other new gauges engine gauges sitting here on my desk right now which are very high quality but I am yet to be given their cost prices but I believe will be cheaper again. These are all for Rotax 912
  9. Don't you guys like supporting this site by supporting Clear Prop where possible? It seems you would rather spend $15USD plus Shipping to get a Fuel Shut Off Valve when clear Prop has them for $9.95 AUD, in stock and get it over night from Melbourne for less shipping cost. Also noticed that Gap Seal Tape was needed and it was suggested to go to Wings and Wheels in the US...well, now that I know about that I have just purchased the tape for Clear Prop to stock at half the price you would have paid. Guys, if you do need something please have a look in Clear Prop, if it isn't there, I can get it, AND if you find something sourced elsewhere then also let me know so I can add it for Clear Prop so everyone can be better off. Clear Prop is what helps to make this site and all its resources available otherwise I will have no choice than to move the site to Facebook but with a lot less free resources
  10. Yes, then there is an up to 3% extra when withdrawing the money to my bank account: Once you have money in your PayPal account you may want to withdraw it to your linked bank account or card. There may be a fee for this service, depending on exactly how you want to process the withdrawal. Here are the PayPal Australia withdrawal fees for consumer and merchant accounts: Withdrawal type PayPal fees Standard withdrawal to bank account Up to 3% depending on the linked account Currency conversion fees apply if PayPal funds are held in a foreign currency Withdraw to a linked card 1% Currency conversion fees apply if PayPal funds are held in a foreign currency Currency conversion fee 3% – 4%
  11. I could however PayPal charges a huge amount on fees, if I recall about 4%, whereas banks charge me around 1.8% to 2% credit card fees
  12. As a heavy sufferer of Skin Cancer (more surgery on Tue) I am always wearing a Cap outside as they say Slip, Slop Slap etc. and I have a huge range of baseball Caps with all different slogans and Logos on them. So I was wandering what does your favourite Aviation related cap say AND/OR what would you like to have one saying...I might be able to get them made for the Clear Prop shop. There would be far too many of mine to list here. Just thought of having some fun...Remember AVIATION RELATED
  13. Here you go, but on the 2nd one I suggest you turn the sound off unless you want to be dancing around with Stayin Alive - Bee Gees
  14. I get your point, I just posted what the manufacturer gave me. I will try and get clarification for you
  15. The options I have without recoding the core files are very limited. I can set per usergroup (i.e. Members group, First Class Members group etc) the time limit a user has to edit a post - problem here is if it is too short then users don't have enough time to correct anything in their post, if it is too long then following posts may become irrelevant and the whole thread is impacted I can turn the "Post Edited" notice in a post ON or OFF only - problem here is that if a user reads or even posts a reply within the time limit a user has to edit the previous post again their post may also become a victim of the problem above. At least if it does show that the previous post has been edited it could very well save the thread I am very much stuck between a rock and a hard post here. There are 2 options that I can see that may be able to solve these problems: 1. If you need to edit your post but can't as the time limit has expired, post again any clarifications you may need to make 2. If it is very important simply Report the post saying what changes you need or PM me with the changes Remember, read the post before pressing the Submit button, and if there still ends up a problem, there is always help available to you
