  1. This discussion appears to be about ‘what is a good idea/casa requirement when learning to fly’. The actual question asked was ‘who has legal liability and therefore should pay’.
  2. Icom IC A220 seems to have a pretty good reputation at $2400 (plus mounting kit). Anybody using one ?
  3. Another question to be asked is how is it measured and is manufacturer As measurement comparible with manufacturer Bs ? While attentuation should be technically based it is often marketing based.
  4. Does not seem unusual to me. Rental cars have always required you to pay the excess (or an additional fee to avoid it).
  5. Can we start off with price ? What is the price of a new MGL, new Trig and for comparison, new Icom and new Garmin.
  6. Stop! There is a big difference between a battery earth and an antenna ground plane. Get some real knowledge before you do anything else.
  7. https://www.vectriqparts.com.au/product/rotax-voltage-regulator-carr5115/ Did the wiring take much time/effort ?
  8. I believe they had a gen 5 at Parkes but I have not seen one for sale.
  9. How much is a new rec/reg ? Buying a new one and trying it would save a lot of time and 'pointsforpilots.blogspot' recommends Rotax owners carry a spare regardless.
  10. Just so you know, an engine doing 8,500 rpm is not considered high reving in the motorcycle world. Of course motorcycles, when being used in high performance mode, have constantly varying revs and do not sit at any revs continuously. It appears to have a watercooled cylinder and head which keeps noise quite low. I did see that the 4 cylinder engine was listed without a gearbox so I do not see how this would work in a plane.
  11. I do not believe the G5 has any screen that displays ADSB traffic.
  12. The Garmin G5 is a mini EFIS with no ADSB or ability to control an ADBS-B transponder so no rebate for a G5.
  13. Seems to be just aligning regs with what GA can do. Still cannot have a school plane 'on condition' in RAAus which I understand you can do in GA.
  14. I thought 24 and 23 were both factory built ?
  15. A lot of people using them in the US. Only issue is it takes weight away in front of the firewall and and effects w&b.
  16. That does not sound right. I suspect that is the RV12 price WITHOUT the engine or avionics.
  17. Not quite https://www.coronerscourt.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/COR%202022%20005430%20Form%2037-Finding%20into%20Death%20Following%20Inquest_Signed.pdf
  18. Do you have a GPS position for Frogs Hollow ? Ignore me, it is in Garmin Pilot. YFGS S 36 45.583 E 149 48.267 DD MM.MMM
  19. That is a lot of battery power for a very small distance travelled (55km).
  20. No solar panels I can see. Requires 4 men to handle the enormous power cord ?
  21. Its also a SAAA information document. This may or may not be all the current CASA requirements.
  22. But if you have never done the paperwork for class 1/2 but have the same conditions you can get class 5 ? Wonder if this will change after class 5 review.
  23. https://www.9news.com.au/national/bellarine-peninsula-helicopter-crashes-into-waters-victoria/185265d7-328a-4b61-bb5b-2408587243ff
