this change was emailed out 2 days before i said anything. i assume if its important enough they would email all members or list in the news section of the portal.
it was aimed at turbo. calling me a nutter, he knows nothing about what i posted.
my info came from the head man himself, db. if i posted something random i heard i would have called it a rumour.
do what you want . better off not posting anything. sick of getting attacked by forced induction
who contributes jack shit except for made up legal rubbish.
I understand where you are coming from but what they are implementing is a good thing for raaus members who have that category. Like the gazelle that just got approved. He was up for a new engine because wal won't rebuild pre 2006 crankcases. Or he had to do an annual marap. His engine was rebuilt 300 hrs ago by a lame but without a Rotax certificate .
The storch I was talking about has a very well documented history and it has only done 500 hrs . Runs like new.
There was a 912 uls advertised the other day with 2000 hrs and it was a 2022 year. A private person could fit that engine and be trouble free for the next 20 years.
The old man had a 3 cylinder lister in a boat that was fitted with an inertia starter off a radial aircraft engine. Sounded like a turbine spinning up . Made people look at the jetty.
I got told tonight that after this week
24 reg owners will be able to register AC with 912 over 15 yrs
And can be used for training by the owner. I assume this means no annual marap.
Supposed to be info coming out next week.
This is where I am confused, are they supplying the parts but charging labor or are they doing the whole job at jabs expense once they receive the engine.
Yes. Raaus really did a good job here. Same the other week when they did my new xairs transfer and rego. It's easy to complain about raa but they should be given credit too when they earn it.
