Camel

Hi and welcome Curly, from yet another happy Jab owner a little to your north in sunny Qld.All the best as you progress towards your RPC. And during your training, don't forget to have fun!

Boy said to his father " when I grow up I want to be a pilot " father says " make up your mind son you can't do both " !

There was also a Eurostar that encountered a storm in Europe and suffered structural failure, the Sportstar in WA was constant overload I believe ! Not the fault of the aircraft ! I believe these two happened the same year ! The Sportstar is a wonderful plane to fly and tempting to push the limits ! I owned one for many years and loved it !

Evektor Sportstar

Both of the deceased were personal friends to me and without digging into the Coroner's report, engine failure wasn't the cause of that double fatality in the Julimar Forest. It was assessed that the aircraft broke up at altitude as a result of accumulated undue airframe stress. As you pointed out, in that instance, the dice had been rolled once too often by two experienced pilots.

Surely, this refers to Gen 2 engines, the Gen 3 is the new 'Chinese' engine.

I think they have covered some ground and are doing alright but they could do better and they could communicate a little better too ! Not perfect but not that bad either ! I'm a fan of air cooled direct drive and think they are the best choice treated right ! I have a gen 2 and am happy with it..!

Because the general public didn't know Hanson and Ashby had a Jabiru until it was on 4 corners. Its not like Hanson is flying food into farmers standed by a flood. If you can't see the difference between these two sorts of events then maybe you should consider why that is.

Camel, she and Ashby are as crooked as the day is long.

I know a lot of a lots of crooks in politics !

I don't understand how anyone can see her flying around is an RAA registered Jabiru as a negative, she is involved and understands the RAA, she is actively flying around promoting RAA by just flying ! , agree or disagree with her politics who cares ! I sure a lot of people now wish they had a plane like hers !

I beg your pardon contributors,but... I am no closer to understanding what Kaz meant by her cryptic post. Can't believe that we are running a secret society here.

Be interested if I am correct ! 29 hours Total Time Since New sound unbelievable.

Original skin makers ?

Wingtech...sails for flight - Wingtech

You work for the Government Public Control sector don't you.

So sad ! Only lasted one day I think from last spell !

As they say you, are entitled to your own beliefs but not your own FACTS. THAT "Study" was a poor attempt after the act, to justify rushing in to fix something they panicked into reacting to without actually knowing what was the extent or real nature of the problem they had effectively grounded Jabiru aircraft for, or the standard they were requiring aircraft engines with jabiru's name on them to meet.. A dark day indeed for owners and schools using them as well as sinking CAMit completely. No one has been prosecuted and no crimes were uncovered. Now there's no parts for various versions of the engine. CASA's reputation continues to go down the gurgler, and it's regarded by most of the GA industry as an ongoing disaster. Nev

I operate a Lyc O235 with a TBO of 2400 hrs, this is a very under stressed low revving engine, there in lies the reliability hence I chose not to sit behind a Jab motor, personal choice.

I owned a Sportstar before and have read it before, here is the bulletin. Maybe it's the British laws as its say depending on regulations. As far as I knew it did not need any special person.

While not knowing the exact details on what happened, if you end up in inadvertent IMC for goodness sake call ATC, you would be surprised how much we can help and sometimes it can just be because you have the calm voice talking to you which prevents poor decisions. We also have some very qualified pilots working as ATC who can help out. On the same day this unfortunate accident happened another pilot got caught in IMC just near Evans head, and he called ATC for assistance. He is now home alive with his family, that's how big a difference it can make.I really don't quite understand the aversion to asking for help, yes you may get some paperwork but that is a much more pleasant outcome. And no matter how busy the controller seems, call up, the controllers will make you the new priority one.

I also just joined ! The ASIC card is a joke ! I have had one from the start and no one has ever looked ! No pilot ever committed a terrorism crime so why are pilots treated like terrorist ! In London men hired a vechicle and caused terrorism and created havoc and loss of life ! Does that mean motorist need an ASIC ?

I WILL NOT RENEW MY ASIC AND I WILL OBJECT STONGLY AGAINST THIS STUPID REDICULOUS WROUGHT THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUALLY ALLOWS ! This current state and federal government are the worst ever in my opinion and I admit I vote for their team but never again !

HOW CAN ANYONE BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE A CAR, RIDE A TRAIN, TAXI, PLANE OR WALK THE STREETS WITHOUT AN ASIC ? WHAT A JOKE !

Transponder still required!

Thanks for posting ! So is my understanding correct ? With both units the ADSB in and out plus position of other aircraft will show on a iPad or android screen that is being supplied GPS information. This would do away with transponder also ?

Like you approach ! Enjoy ! Always find a laugh or some good info somewhere here !

Thousands of them flying, the G13BB.Millions of them on the road in hilly China getting soundly thrashed and poorly maintained in overloaded, undergeared mini vans and flatbeds. There would be a few million of them in taxis as well in China, here's Chongqing for example ..

 

Every yellow car you see is a ChangAn-Suzuki Swift with a G13BB, and the mini vans likely also, my point is they are very, very well proven.

It was tongue in cheek, you angry man!

You live in Perth, that's about as far away as you can get from this country, so yes yo have been out of the country for a while:oh yeah: I wasn't aware that Camit got out of making Jab motors?
