  1. Yes... pm me details; thanks 👍
  2. What cruise speed are these meglin props optimised for? Recreational aircraft these days are mostly split between bush stol 70-80kt and faster point to point craft of 130-160kt
  3. If you have an ADSB-IN peripheral that requires a Standalone Display Component, i.e "active adsb traffic display" via wifi or cable connectivity then it qualifies along with the wifi or cable interface components. ADSB-Out can be a totally seperate unit solution. If one purchased the LYNX L3 then you can only claim on the single unit solution for the ADSB-In ADSB-Out rebate because the Lynx has its own traffic display screen. If one installed Dynon SV1100 with XPNDR261 and ADSB472 the whole system is eligible for rebate
  4. The rebate conditions are very simple; If the unit being claimed upon possesses an ADSB-OUT feature and is SIL-1/2/3 capable it is valid for the rebate. If the unit being claimed upon possesses an ADSB-IN feature it is valid for the rebate. ADSB-IN and ADSB-OUT are treated as two seperate standalone criteria. They can be applied for individually or together at the same time. New or Used equipment makes no difference so long as an ATO valid purchase Tax receipt can be presented. Think of things as a complete unit solution of three seperate components; any of the following will qualify... ADSB Rx/Display, or, ADSB Tx/Display, or, ADSB Rx/Tx/Display Garmin GNX375 Garmin GTX375/G1000 or G5 Uavionix AV30C/TailbeaconX/AV-Link/Ping-RX Lynx L-3 If the unit being claimed on for the rebate has additional useful features such as GPS Navigation, NAV/COM, Autopilot, Expresso Maker, then you will get a big bonus!
  5. Point 1 - This post is way off track; its so far off track it does not even register... it had the hallmarks of motivation early on and is now just another forum post of speculation and meandering discussion... Its not even amusing; its just apathetically very very sad. Point 2 - RAA has some seriously questionable internal cultural rot going on at the very top, and it either gets removed now, or, continues to fester and degrade the establishment, its resources, and its public image borne by its members (the establishment's owners). Point 3 - Under the RAA constitution a minimum quorum of 10% (1000 persons) of the total members, as a group, can put forward and vote upon calling for a "special resolution - vote of no confidence" requesting the immediate removal and expulsion of either "individual", or, "all of" RAA appointed Board Members. The Board Members do not own RAA... They are Elected for a position upon the Board through member voting, or, members signing their vote over to a Proxy (aka a Board Member) - this is very bad if the Board is corrupt.. So the question that should be getting discussed here is "How will we, the rightful owners of RAA, assemble ourselves into a quorum of 1000 in order to immediately extricate this malignant toxicity from the establishment?" Solution - Sack the entire Board swiftly in one go and move on by reinstating each vacant position with an officer that is able to display a proven track record of highly respected and developed standards of Ethics and Integrity. That's what needs to happen. There is nothing to discuss about the matter. Time to flush the stinking bog down the toilet and kick the inflated hagas into touch.
  6. Chasing cradle backplate and connectors to suit GMA320/40 or King, PSA equivalents. PM if you have one laying on the shelf gathering dust worth selling. Thanks,
  7. Air Services don't care what an aircraft looks or performs like. They are there to provide a service to aviation via Air Traffic Control. If the aircraft has the necessary equipment to operate within a Controlled Area thats all that matters. If the PIC has the necessary endorsements to operate an aircraft within a Controlled Area that's all that matters. Consult the latest AIP for further information. Air Services may impose restrictions upon what type of aircraft are authorised to operate within specific Areas during certain periods or times. Consult the NOTAMS and ERSA for specific airfields and PRD's. Consult CASA Part91 for further information regarding Manual Of Standards - General Operating & Flight Rules, and other aircraft specific operating regulations.
  8. Q1 - you will need to verify the following with the relevant CASA PART91 regulations to determine validity as to what "type" of aircraft can access Class D or C air space. Weight shift aircraft can enter Class D airspace providing they are equipped with a radio and the PIC holds the appropriate RPL/PPL endorsements. If the aircraft is equiped with a transponder it must activate and Squawk 3000. Airspeeds must be limited to maximum of 200kt within 4nm and below 2500'. Weight shift aircraft can enter Class C airspace providing the aircraft complies with the above Class D requirements, however a Mode-S with Altitude encoding, or ADS-B out is mandatory, Squawk 1200. VFR rules apply for both above Major City airports will not appreciate a trike holding up the big commercial planes, you may not get a clearance to land or ground taxi

    Plastic aircraft can install inside the fuselage without affecting TX/RX gps/adsb. There is a GPS position offset option in Settings menu. The antenna orientation of the unit is important.
  10. If you visit a graveyard, any graveyard, you will find so many great ideas... graveyards are overflowing with great ideas all over the world... its an unending problem, but somehow the ideas do find a place to be stored for later use....
  11. Does this mean when it hits a hangar it will now get through to the other side and keep flying? 🤷đŸŊâ€â™‚ī¸đŸ¤”âœˆī¸
  12. Anyone using a Stratus with AvTraffic?
  13. Yes, thats the info required; thanks 👍
  14. I would like to see more stories about Fly-Ins and what hobby plane builders have and can make on the kitchen bench and take with them for the cake and scone judging competitions. 😐
  15. Mr Google says It could be an MCX or SMB style plug 🤷đŸŧâ€â™‚ī¸đŸ•ĩđŸŧâ€â™€ī¸
  16. Agree... "just fly the plane" 👍
  17. Read through that earlier; no specs provided; thanks 👍
  18. Morse chain, hydraulic tensioner; backlash vibration and noise problems gone away...
  19. Question for forum brains trust... Which antenna connector plug is used for the Stratus-3 adsb receiver? Looks like both are some kind of push fit style...
  20. That is the assumption flying around the entire rotax community... Another assumption is the one regarding violent power pulses from the little sewing machine motor revving its guts out while producing output to the gearbox; hence gearbox dog gear function... Morse chain would be the better choice for this unit... Easier to just pay money, service machine, pay money, fix machine...
  21. All those points above should be noted for consideration. One thing i will say is, after installing this 100hp unit that replaced the 80hp, on first start up session to check and balance carburettors the engine sounded a bit rattlee; after carbi balance it settled right down... The source of the rattle was traced to the spur gear backlash in the gearbox; at higher rpm it is still traceable as vibration... Out of all the meshing spinning and reciprocating components of these units the spur gear backlash is active to some degree. I am left believing that this is the source of first order harmonic input leading to crankcase fretting. In short it sounds bloody horrible through the stethoscope. If it was an engine that i knew nothing about and somebody brought to me to diagnose i would say that sounds f'd, needs opening up for further assessment... But alas, that's how it is, and it works, and in the bottom of the oil can we will find powdery fine magnetic dust that can be mined and turned into bespoke expensive metallic fleck paint for a custom car paint shop đŸ‘¨â€âœˆī¸
  22. Ozrunways has TAFG which is a useful tool however it does not combine departure arrival destinations together. That being said there are other Wx tool charts in Ozrunways that will present transiting conditions for the flight plan entered.
  23. Was it a successful job interview for RedBull? â˜šī¸
  24. Agree. Maybe someone out there knows what percentage failure rate triggers an AD and lesser SB situation by an OEM.
