  1. I think we are talking.about 2 different things. The video shows powered parachutes like turbo is talking about. And that is what I meant when I said they already have a parachute on. But they do carry a small reserve as well which would need some height to work.
  2. Just thinking about this. Do you mean they may have a high sink rate. I was thinking of normal parachutes but of course these powered ones would be a lot smaller I guess.
  3. They should be effective at all heights shouldn't they.
  4. did you hear about the penquin that noticed his car was leaking oil on a hot day so he took it to the garage. while waiting he went over the road and bought a soft serve cone. on the way back he tripped and spilt the soft serve. the mechanic working on his car said , you blew a seal. the penquin looked disgusted and replied its ice cream.😁
  5. if you look to the right side of the island there is enough length to chip out a runway for the thrusters near the proposed casino and bowls club.
  6. could be a staging post for the thruster airforce that was going to invade tasmania in the never ending story.😁
  7. At least you already have a parachute on.
  8. its not too far from wilsons prom. the hogan group, there are few smaller islands there too and the only land border between tassy and vic.
  9. very hard to sell. lots of trikes in hangars at our club. some haven't been used for years. i know one that the owner paid around 70k for sold for 20 last year.
  10. 7/3/2024 OCC3599 South of Hogan Island Bass Straight VIC ICP Savannah Rotax 912
  11. bass straight. on the border of tasmania and victoria
  12. has anyone heard a savannah going down near hogan island. its on the raaus incident list but i have not seen anything on the news. happened thursday.
  13. interesting ppc flight over an aircraft boneyard rd in the us
  14. There are plenty of ultralights still around . Mine is a 2004 model but it is still available new.
  15. Good Idea but my ultralight has the engine fully exposed not In a cowl.
  16. No ,I haven't checked the gauge. I am sure it works fine. I don't have any issues , its just low oil temp on cold days. I usually only run it early in the day.
  17. There is a Cessna 150 advertised ATM with raa rego. So at current 600 kg mtow it has a 120 kg payload.
  18. We did a 50 km flight this morning and oil temp went to 90 and stayed there so I will leave it as is. It is a hot day , I have never seen it come up to 90 before . Cooler did its job.
  19. Old thread but interesting. I am thinking I might tape over the cooler on my j2200, the temp needle barely makes the bottom of the green ever. The cooler is also mounted flat across the front of the sump so I wouldn't think there is much airflow through it. On the xair the engine is fully exposed to the air. If I can remove the cooler after testing it would get rid of potential oil leaks.
  20. Looks like 8 runways to me. Lots of choice is good.
