Hi, i have one of these. I made the file wth windows notepad - tag.txt in the root directory of the camera's drive card ( example is for 22 July 2009 ) I also copied the file to tag1.txt so i could reuse it next time ( the camera removes the tag.txt after sucking it in) [date] 2009/07/22 12:23:11 reagrds, - Ian

So we've decided to get 10 ply tyres 6" for our j230. Looking at past threads i can see a few sources. Can anyone suggest what a ballpark price is for the tyres and fitting ?

Hi, Rohan at Dynamic Flight, Australias Leading Hang Gliding School / Official Home Page is the best for HG in Vic, if not OZ. He is not only an expert, but can also teach it. He does a range of courses, so you could even just try an intro course. Also does trikes.

I am suprised that our Jab 230 has just a nyloc on the 1/8, single bolt, that holds on the front wheel - no pin. Is that common to other A/C too ?

Our Jab 230 ( about 1 year old ) with about 60 hours on it, has lots of white fiberglass in the fuel dip, even making the drain valves stick open, if not checked. Seems it comes from when the holes for filler/drains were made. The wings were drained once and looks like it needs more. Hopefully the fuel filter will catch enough so that it does not fall out of the sky ....! Anyone know any tricks for flushing out the tanks ? Thanks, - Ian ( Cloud Nine Flyers )

Thanks everyone - i contacted Dianne at Punkinhead ( very helpful )about J230 covers - $660 for cabin only, $770 for Cabin and cowl, $1770 full A/C. Silver, grey or blue, felt lined.

Hi all, anyone know a good place to get aircraft covers for a Jab 230 ? I heard something about a place at Wagga that does them ? Interested in just windscreen, prop or full covers. Is there a trick to using them, so that the wind movement does'nt just act like sandpaper and grind the surface ? Regards,

Hi, and thanks Brent and Blueline - really good comments. I agree, best to have tooooooo much fuel. Thinking ahead to our j230 syndicate A/C ( due Early Dec !!! ) we will have some people doing long trips and some doing laps. Prolly not sensible to have the learners doing laps with 120 litres ? Do you know just where the guage sensors are located ? Is there tech data available for that sort of detail ? I have not been able to find it at www.jabiru.net.au At the time, i tried flying very clean and level and also at attitudes to see if i could get an idea of just what was in the tanks, from the movement of the guages, but it is slow to respond... I will still make up a dipstick using a similar procedure to Blueline ( Ta ! ) Fuel cost is not a problem. A/C in one nice piece is ! ( and me too !!! ) I like the idea of Jabiru supplying or selling one. Like all A/C ( and cars etc ) it is up to the user to do the check on the flat and level... Thanks again,

Hi all, Anyone made a fuel dip stick for j170/j230 wings ? Was flying a j170 and after a couple of hours, saw the fuel guages showing very low and the EFIS going from 0 to 20 Lt, sometimes just sitting on 0 or 4 for 10 seconds at a time... so we landed. ( Thanks Lilydale ! ) On the ground, the reading stabilized at 28 lt. I put a stick into each wing and got 1/2 an inch in one and none in the other, ( although you could hear it sloshing around ) So i put a nother 40 in just to be sure... When i picked up the plane it read 90 lt and that tallied with the paperwork, but who knows ? Unless you put the fuel in yourself, its hard to trust the guages and efis.... So maybe i will make a simple stick with markings like used on the Cessna's ?

ps - the A/C will be at Tyabb.

Thanks Simon, i missed that, and have responded.
